- Scope and Contents
- This subseries is comprised of photographic prints, negatives, albums, and slides that depict travel around, excavations at, and artifacts from Shanidar Cave in northern Iraq and its environs. The materials date from 1950-2011, with the bulk dating from the exacvations at Shanidar Cave from 1951-1960. Most of the photographs were taken by Ralph Solecki, Rose Solecki, or their students and colleagues including Jacques Bordaz, T. Dale Stewart, Douglas Campana, and Philip E. Smith. To date not all matched individual negatives correspond to individual prints, and vice versa. However, the photograph albums do contain numbered prints of the images that will correspond to negatives found within the "Shanidar Negative Number 1-3544, Unlabeled Negatives, circa 1951-1960".
