University Museum Collections, University of Arkansas An Emphasis on Collecting
Although a zoologist by training, Dellinger quickly realized that Arkansas had a unique and remarkably rich archeological heritage. He developed a passion for archeology and worked to keep Arkansas artifacts from leaving the state to enhance other museum collections.
To build the University Museum’s collection, Dellinger directed excavations throughout the state, specifically in northeast Arkansas, the Ozarks, the Arkansas River Valley, and along the Ouachita River. Dellinger’s busy schedule did not permit much time in the field, so the excavations were supervised by his students with help from local laborers. |
