Destinee I would possibly be interested in presenting a presentation I have
just completed about 500 photographs that were taken during the 1919, 1920
, and 1932 Aztalan Excavtions by Samuel A. Barrett of the Milwaukee Public
Museum. This was the first professional, systematic archaeological excavati
on conducted in Wisconsin, on Wisconsin's premier Archaeological Site and f
irst farming village. These photographs were the key to reconstructing what
was done. etc.
Let me know if this might interest you and your crowd.
Thanks,
Kurt Sampson
