| | Notes: |
The permanent research collection of the Department of Anthropology
comprises approximately 17,000 objects, most of which are ethnographic.
The Department actively collects material of the indigenous cultures
of western North America (exclusive of Mexico) and of the Pacific
Rim, including all Pacific islands and East Asia. Current strengths
of the collection are general holdings from the U.S. Southwest and
the Pacific Islands, and basketry from California. Earlier years of
collecting have yielded both ethnographic and archaeological materials
from East Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Central and South America.
