>From: [log in to unmask] (Anne Vawser) Washington Office (DC) - OBITUARY:
>Calvin Cummings, a senior archeologist who retired from the NPS after 35
>years of service, died September 2nd at his home in Golden, Colorado, after
>a long battle with lymphatic cancer. Cal began his career in 1962 as a park
>ranger/archeologist at Wupatki and subsequently worked at Tuzigoot, Lake
>Meredith, Alibates Flint Quarries, and Salinas. He did a tour as staff
>archeologist in the Navajo Lands Group, then spent the balance of his
>career in Southwest Regional Office, DSC and Washington, where he was chief
>anthropologist for the NPS from 1983 to 1984. From 1985 until his
>retirement in 1997, he was a senior archeologist in the Washington Office,
>duty-stationed in Lakewood, Colorado. Cal was recognized nationally and
>internationally as an expert in cultural resources management, underwater
>archeology, and pyroarcheology; among other things, he was instrumental in
>creating the NPS Submerged Cultural Resources Unit, establishing the
>Service's Southwest Cultural Resources Center, and starting the Zuni, Hopi
>and Navajo tribal archeological programs. His career was devoted to the
>protection, preservation and proper management of all park resources, and
>he was an outspoken advocate for all archeological resources inside and
>outside the National Park system. [Michele Aubry, Archeology and
>Ethnography Program, WASO].
