Description

The Anthropology Collections at Cornell University include over 20,000 pieces, archaeological and ethnographic, ranging from the Lower Paleolithic through the 20th century. The collections are available by appointment for teaching and research.

The origins of the Anthropology Collections can be traced to the University Museum, one of the first three buildings constructed at Cornell. In the early years of the University, anthropological and archaeological materials came into the Collections via Geology, Classics, Zoology, and other programs.

After the Second World War, as the Anthropology Department separated from Economics and Sociology and and grew, the Anthropology Collections were re-organized and expanded to support the mission of the Department.
