| | Abstract: | This collection reflects Dr. Cummings’ forty years service as an archeologist, professor at the University of Arizona, and Arizona State Museum director while in Tucson, Arizona. The photo collection provides a vivid picture of Cummings’ work at archeological sites in Mexico including Chichen Itza, Cuicuilco, and Cholula Puebla. He visited and worked many excavation sites in the United States including Kinishba, Montezuma Castle, and photographed many pictographs from numerous locations in the southwestern United States. In addition to Arizona and Mexico locations photos depict visits to sites in New Mexico, Utah, California, and Europe. Many photos show topics of interest in addition to archeological projects including people Cummings worked with, plants and animals, city and village scenes. One outside item contains oversized photos within the collection. | |
