Notes: The historical development of archaeology in the southwest, from the 1890s to the 1920s.  Two major research traditions: Eastern museum-sponsored expeditions (AMNH, Peabody) versus Southwest Museum and SAA/SAR sponsored digs and the competition for status and prestige have created the agenda for current archaeology today.
