Description
Summary:Alice Hubbard Carpenter's avocational archaeological activities contributed greatly to the modern archaeological understanding of the American Southwest, and especially of southeastern Arizona's prehistoric Indian cultures. Her work is distinguishable from pothunting both by its beginnings in the 1920s before professional archaeology frowned on such collecting, and by her genuine efforts to understand the people who created the artifacts. Her collecting, museum donations, and journal still provide vital information.
