Biography/History
Anthropology courses at Washington State University originally fell under the department of Sociology, in the college of Arts and Sciences. In 1963, Anthropology became its own department. Through the years the department has had a number of homes on campus, from Commons Hall to Johnson Tower, and finally to the current building in College Hall, which was renovated in 1983 to house both the department and the Anthropology Research Lab (Center for Northwest Anthropology).
Scope and Content
The records of the Washington State University Department of Anthropology includes reports, proposals, materials related to the graduate program, departmental minutes, and an accreditation report.
The departmental administration records (Series 1), date from 1964 through 1976, and consists of developmental proposals dealing with the field schools, archeology, social anthropology, sociology, and the budget. Also included in the series are materials related to the graduate program, departmental minutes, and an accreditation report.
The excavation projects records (Series 2), date from 1968 through 1974, and deal with the Marmes and the Ozette projects. Included are reports and proposals as well as correspondence involving Richard Daughtery (Department Chairman), Roald Fryxell (Professor of Anthropology), Charles Fred Bohannan (National Park Service Archeologist), and Gerald Grosso (Project Director). Substantial correspondence is directed to legislators and Congressmen in search of support for the projects.
