THE PEABODY VISION I
n 1901, Robert S. Peabody (Class of 1857) established the institution that now bears his name with three goals in mind: to provide space for Phillips Academy student groups, to promote the study of archaeology and anthropology at Phillips Academy, and to foster archaeological research. Our twenty-first century vision for the Institute has remained true to Robert Peabody’s original idea: a teaching museum dedicated to the faculty and students of the Academy.

Glory, Trouble, and Renaissance at the Robert S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology In April 2018 the University of Nebraska Press published this history of the Peabody in their prestigious Critical Histories of Anthropology series. Based on a 2011 Society for American Archaeology conference symposium, the book brings together scholars, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni who reflect on the major contributions of the Peabody during the last 100 plus years. Copies are available on Amazon.com and directly from the publisher.
Collaborative Learning The Peabody Institute widely supported coursework across disciplines during fiscal year 2018. Institute educators taught 27 lessons, serving 31 faculty members and 1,547 students (this number includes students who visited the institute with multiple classes). [1] Term Long Courses Three term long classes were taught at the Peabody: in the fall Marcelle Doheny taught her senior elective Race & Identity in Indian Country, drawing heavily on Peabody collections and personnel; Ryan Wheeler taught Human Origins, a multidisciplinary science elective; and during the winter Donny Slater taught his history elective Maya Cosmos. [2] Pueblo Potters Share Their Work with Andover Dominique Toya (Pueblo of Jemez), Maxine Toya (Pueblo of Jemez), and Mia Toya (Pueblo of Jemez) spent a week in May 2018 on campus sharing their passion for Pueblo pottery with students in four sections of Thayer Zaeder’s ’83 studio ceramics course. The potters spent considerable time during and after class helping students make and decorate a small vessel using traditional Puebloan materials and techniques, culminating in a series of outdoor firings. [3] Human Origins Led by Peabody director Ryan Wheeler, this course highlights the important and complex events that make up the last seven million years of human evolution. An important goal is for students to develop a critical understanding of key concepts in human evolution, including the theory of biological evolution, the differences and similarities between various hominin species, the “creative explosion” of human cognition, the concept of race and its place in scientific research and discourse, and the role of archaeology and paleoanthropology in construction of our knowledge of the past. [4] Independent Project — On the Yukon Trail During winter term seniors Pierce Bausano ’18 and David Tsai ’18 worked with Peabody director Ryan Wheeler to research and analyze objects from the Peabody’s arctic and subarctic collections. They used a variety of sources from the Peabody library and archives to contextualize the objects. [5] Independent Project — Reading Muslin: Cultural Preservation in Ledger Art Senior Daniel Yen ’18 spent two terms working with history and social sciences faculty member Donny Slater researching the Peabody’s two pictographic muslin objects.
Dan connected with Plains ledger drawing experts and conducted extensive research, culminating in a lengthy report and a public presentation that included his “reading” of these impressive pieces of nineteenth century American Indian artwork. [6] New Computer Science Lesson Meg Bednarcik and Nick Zufelt, instructors in computer science, have partnered with the Peabody Institute to create a lesson about information encoding and image looping. Using huipils (Maya women’s blouses) in the collection, students learn how clothing is a form of nonverbal communications. Through various group activities students learn the various levels of communication – ethnicity, village location, marital status, age, technical skills, etc. – that are encoded into the textiles. This helps students to see that many of the computer programs they are learning about are in fact based on activities that humans have been doing for generations. [7] Identity by Design Lindsay Randall created a new History 300 lesson called Identity By Design: The Stories a Plains Outfit Can Tell. In the 75-minute class students explore objects from the Peabody’s collection to understand the long standing close connection that Plains tribes have to their surroundings and natural resources. Through the lens of one aspect of life – clothing – the impact that Westward Expansion had on tribes is more clearly defined. [8] Instrumental Understanding Elizabeth Aureden, instructor in music, collaborated with Lindsay Randall on a new lesson for her Musical Brain course. One of the goals was to challenge students to engage with different cultural and social philosophies and ideas about music. In the class, Instrumental Understanding, Native American musical instruments were examined to better understand how music is shaped by its cultural context. [9] Thursday Study Hours In collaboration with the Academic Skills Center, the Peabody hosted Thursday night quiet study hours from 5:00-9:15pm through the year. Students are welcomed to the Peabody each week with snacks and a quiet environment to study individually or with a tutor. We estimate that over 500 students studied at the Peabody this year. Four student proctors are involved with the quiet study hours and provide access to the Peabody library.

Collections Stewardship
Recognizing that the Peabody Institute’s collaborative learning offerings at Andover and beyond are anchored in our significant collections we have begun an ambitious project to improve both physical and intellectual control over our holdings. This includes cataloging of the collections, online access, opportunities for scholars and researchers, and a focus on the Institute’s work duty program. [1] Research, Scholar Visits, and Loans - In FY 2018, the Peabody hosted 6 research visits and responded to 31 inquiries regarding our collections. For example, Dr. Laura Kelvin, a post-doctoral researcher from Memorial University in Newfoundland, visited to examine material from the William Duncan Strong collection. Dr. Kelvin spent a week photographing all of these artifacts – even 3D scanning some – for inclusion in a developing community archive of archaeological and traditional knowledge of the Hopedale, Labrador area. See our blog for more information about her work: https://peabody.andover.edu/2017/10/25/canadianresearcher-visits-to-examine-strong-collection/ Dr. Deborah Nicholas, Dartmouth University, and Dr. Wesley Stoner, University of Arkansas, conducted sampling on several dozen ceramic sherds from the Tehuacan Valley of Mexico. These sherds were collected through the work of Dr. Richard “Scotty” MacNeish and are being reexamined to reveal the organization of production and exchange systems for Early and Middle Formative period central Mexico (2000 – 500 BCE). [2] Peabody Library Project - One of the Institute’s most significant resources is the library collection, containing some 9,000+ books, journals, and reference volumes. Mary Beth Clack continued as our contract librarian, checking and updating catalog entries, especially for series where the existing catalog did not list any details about the individual volumes. This work is largely complete and makes our holdings more accessible to faculty, students, and Institute personnel.
[3] Linda S. Cordell Memorial Research Award - The
Cordell Award Endowment was established in 2013 in honor of the late Linda S. Cordell, eminent archaeologist of the American Southwest and member of the Peabody Advisory Committee (PAC). Linda was Senior Scholar at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, recipient of the A.V. Kidder Medal for eminence in American Archaeology, and a valued member of the Peabody Advisory Committee. Two awards were made in 2017-18:
Katie Kirakosian received her PhD from UMass Amherst in 2014 and is currently adjunct faculty at several schools in Rhode Island. Her project focuses on archival materials from Warren Moorehead, Douglas Byers, and Frederick Johnson to continue her dissertation research and prepare a book on the history of archaeology in Massachusetts using social network analysis. Dr. Kirakosian published some of her previous research using Peabody collections in the 2015 issue of the Bulletin of the History of Archaeology: http://www.archaeologybulletin.org/articles/10.5334/ bha.260/ Gabrielle Greenlee is a PhD candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her research investigates how surface details on textiles, such as fringes and embroidery, may also be considered as references to indigenous notions of territoriality, e.g. starting from the question of what it means for the edges of certain garments to be embellished in certain ways. Ms. Greenlee examined ancient Peruvian textiles in our collection. For more on the Linda S. Cordell Memorial Research Award see our blog: http://bit.ly/22pgzV5 [4] Adopt A Drawer Program - In 2013 the Peabody Institute launched a fundraising promotion called Adopt A Drawer that invites donors to support the cataloging of one of more than 2,100 artifact storage drawers at the Peabody. Work duty students and interns are heavily involved in the cataloging work. Donors receive updates on the cataloging, including before and after photos, as well as acknowledgement in our online catalog. As of June 30, 2018, generous donors have adopted 68 artifact storage drawers. These drawers hold material ranging from paleolithic sites in New England to Chaco Canyon in New Mexico; from the Tehuacan Valley of Mexico to the homestead of a freed Black woman in Andover. Fiftythree of these drawers – over 2,000 artifacts! – have been fully cataloged and appear in the Peabody’s online catalog: http://peabody.pastperfect-online.com

Collections Stewardship Archaeology Collections: 500,000+ Ethnographic Collections: 2,200+ Images: 47,000+ Archives: 350+ linear feet Library: 9,000+ books Geographic Scope: 5,092 sites and locations in 38 countries, with principal collections from the United States and Canada
Collections Stewardship (cont’) [5] Work Duty 2017–2018 - Work duty at the Peabody is a major point of interaction with the institution. During fiscal year 2018, 23 students and 3 volunteers performed their work duty with the Peabody collections department, with over 75% of them choosing to return the following term. Collectively, the students provided 402 hours of work over the school year. Their primary tasks included inventorying artifacts for re-boxing, proctoring study hours, and preparing objects for use in classes. [6] Volunteers 2017-2018 - Volunteers help collections staff with a variety of collections projects from inventorying the collection to pest management to preparing artifacts for classes. Projects this year include: completing a full inventory of the Peabody’s basketry collection, continued pest management treatment, and researching archaeological collections for blog entries. [7] NAGPRA - The Peabody has been in the forefront of Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) compliance since the inception of the act in the 1990s. Peabody collections include ancestral human remains and funerary objects from 112 sites in 28 states. Collections have been affiliated with 60 tribes, though the Peabody houses ancestral remains from 44 sites considered to be Culturally Unidentified under the NAGPRA act and rule. Major consultations resulting in affiliation of human remains and funerary objects include the Pecos Pueblo (New Mexico), Etowah (Georgia), and Maine sites. Requests for repatriation and consultation with tribes continue today. We published three notices in the Federal Register this fiscal year, including individuals and funerary objects from the Mansion Inn site in Wayland, MA, the Swanton site in Vermont, and sites on Martha’s Vineyard. Consultations with tribes have included the Wampanoag, Wabanaki, and non-federally recognized Abenaki groups of New Hampshire and Vermont.
[8] Archives Project - A generous gift from the Oak River Foundation, Peoria, Illinois supported the temporary appointment of archivist Irene Gates for a second year. During this second year, Irene processed repatriation and exhibit records; physically reorganized and rehoused the photo collections; digitally imaged nearly 1,000 photographs, which were cataloged in Past Perfect and made available online; improved the organization of the map files; and collaborated with Digital Commonwealth to digitize four record cartons of Richard “Scotty” MacNeish archival material. Librarian Mary Beth Clack assisted with some of the photo cataloging. The Peabody archives represent 350 linear feet of records, 47,000 photographs (10,000 prints, 35,000 slides, 230 rolls of film, 500 glass plate negatives, 1,500 lantern slides), and 30 oversize map drawers, as well as files and images on electronic media. These resources and invaluable in interpreting and understanding our object collections, and having them better organized means greater accessibility for Peabody personnel, and faculty, students, and outside researchers. [9] Box Us In - In the Peabody’s ongoing quest for full physical and intellectual control over the collection, the reboxing and inventory project took a massive step forward this fiscal year. With the assistance of inventory specialists, Rachel Manning and Annie Greco, 418 drawers were inventoried and transferred into nearly 600 boxes. This translates to counting and inventorying over 80,000 individual artifacts! The inventory will continue for another couple of years as we work our way through the 1500 remaining drawers. The work is thorough, detailed, and invaluable to establishing intellectual control over the collection. All this work would not have been possible without the generosity of the Oak River Foundation, Barbara and Les Callahan, and the Abbot Academy Fund.
Campus and Alumni Events The Peabody Museum participates in and hosts a variety of events during the academic year, ranging from Family Weekend in October to Grandparents’ Day in May, as well as Reunion Weekend, visits by prospective students and their families, tours, classes, signature events for the Andover community, and a number of visits with local public and private schools beyond our work with Phillips Academy students. In 2017-18 we provided these opportunities to 2,393 individuals.

Outreach and Partnerships The Peabody embraces the PA motto of Non sibi and recognizes that our role in the community goes beyond the classroom and campus. Participation in a variety of educational events and partnerships throughout the year helps us bring archaeology and anthropology to the broader community. [1] Lindsay Randall worked with Matt Oosting, Summer Session teacher, to teach his Lower School Institute students about the agricultural revolution using the Peabody’s mock excavation. The students studied the artifacts to decipher context clues that would allow them to infer if the culture who produced the items had a stable supply of food or were still employing hunting and gathering methods of food procurement. [2] Dr. Bethany Jay, professor of history at Salem State University, once again collaborated with Lindsay Randall to run a graduate class, Preserving the Past: Using Archaeology to Teach History. The class focused on how archaeology can be used in middle and high school classrooms as a way to talk about minorities, who are often left out of the historical record. The class ran for five days and focused on Native Americans, women, enslaved people, and free blacks. During each day Lindsay modeled lesson plans that focused on archaeology, yet utilized the resources available to all teachers. The class culminated in an excavation at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead with Dr. Nathan Hamilton. [3] Lindsay Randall represented the Peabody Museum at the 11th annual Archaeology Fair held at the Museum of Science in Boston. Numerous archeologists from across Massachusetts and New England converge on the Museum of Science with hands on activities for kids and adults of all ages. Lindsay brought the museum’s Lego archaeology activity and the pseudomorph detective game. [4] On October 4th, Lindsay Randall travelled to Brookwood School to work with their 5th grade students and teachers. Using the Shattuck Farm mock excavation lesson, Lindsay taught students how to read objects as primary sources. This allowed students to begin to make inferences and complex connections about what they were viewing.
[5] For the past seven years preschoolers from Pike School have come to the Peabody Institute in November to learn about Native Americans. Before coming to the museum each of the three classes focus on learning about the Iroquois, Sioux, or Hopi tribes. While at the museum they have the opportunity to see and touch various objects such as a turtle and hoof rattle or katchina dolls related to the tribes that they are studying. The children also get to handle objects that native people who lived in Andover would have used, such as beaver fur and turkey bones. [6] Lindsay Randall, Joe Bagley (Boston City Archaeologist) and a team of volunteers participated in the Friends of the Public Garden’s annual Making History on the Common. This event is open by invitation to all Boston third, fourth, and fifth grade classes. Over 550 students came by the archaeology tent to learn about flint knapping, cross mending vessels, and how to make their own clay pot using reproduction native tools to decorate it. [8] For the second year, the Peabody Institute had a booth in the exhibit hall at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, held this year in Washington DC. Peabody staff members were on hand to field questions about the museum collections, online resources, publications, and the Linda Cordell Memorial Research Award. [9] Journal of Archaeology and Education - The Journal of Archaeology and Education is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to disseminating research and sharing practices in archaeological education at all levels. In 2017 archaeologists Meg Conkey, Dan Sandweiss ’75, Ryan Wheeler, and Nancy Gonlin founded JAE. The journal is hosted at the University of Maine’s Digital Commons website and is edited by Nan Gonlin.

Excavation at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead
Special Event r.ed in residence: r.ed monde visits the Peabody The Peabody designed and hosted pop-up exhibit r.ed in residence based on wvisual artist Angela Lorenz’s (’83, P’14) newest art book r.ed monde in r.ed wengender.ed. The exhibit follows the exploits of Lorenz’s whimsical and selfreflective creation r.ed in a world-wide exploration of art and antiquities. The exhibit featured student created social media scavenger hunts and a special reception and talk with the artist.

Peabody Highlights Peabody collections care centers in the Knowledge and Goodness campaign
The Peabody’s portion of the Knowledge and Goodness campaign focuses on upgrading collections storage. A top priority for the Institute for years, collections are currently being inventoried and rehoused to facilitate a transition to compacting shelving. Knowing exactly what we have and where to find it will only make the collection more accessible for students, faculty, researchers, and tribal partners.
Glory, Trouble, and Renaissance at the Robert S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology
In April 2018 the University of Nebraska Press published this history of the Peabody in their prestigious Critical Histories of Anthropology series. Based on a 2011 Society for American Archaeology conference symposium, the book brings together scholars, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni who reflect on the major contributions of the Peabody during the last 100 plus years. Copies are available on Amazon.com and directly from the publisher.
Stolen Artifact Returns to the Peabody
March 2, 2018 saw the return of a spatulate stone celt from the Etowah site in Georgia that was stolen from the Peabody sometime in the 1970s or 1980s. Peabody director Ryan Wheeler worked with artifact collector Thomas Rachels and the FBI art crimes team on the return of the celt. The return prompted a complete inventory of the Institute’s Etowah and Little Egypt site collections, which identified several other missing and presumed stolen objects. To read more about the Etowah celt and its return, see the Peabody blog.
New Acquisitions: Pueblo Revolt 1680
We were delighted to acquire a contemporary painted vessel made by Jason Garcia. Garcia (Okuu Pin) is a talented ceramic artist from Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico known for his mix of traditional materials and methods with pop culture. This piece explores the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 through the media of traditionally built pottery and painting in the style of comic books or graphic novels.
