Scope and Content

From the Collection: The collection consists of Cordell's research files and data, site plans and profiles, correspondence, projects, papers, conference materials, and photographs.

As an active participant in the profession of archaeology, Cordell did extensive service as an editor, reviewer, and conference organizer. Many of the papers found in this collection are drafts and unpublished conference presentations by well-known specialists in Southwest archaeology and physical anthropology.

Cordell also served as an advocate and expert witness for court cases involving the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Her tribal clients included Zuni Pueblo, Santa Ana Pueblo, and the Hopi tribe.
