XX [Austin American-Statesman, April 20, 2001 obituary of Curtis Dale Tunnell, 1934-2001]: Archeologist, preservationist, oral historian, and folklorist, Tunnell was born in Turkey, Hall County, Texas on January 24, 1934. Upon going to West Texas State College, in Canyon, Tunnell's interests in geology, paleontology, and anthropology were already developing. At West Texas, Tunnell worked in the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, one of the leading archeological research centers in the state. There, he met his lifelong mentor, Jack Hughes. Together, they covered vast areas of the Texas Panhandle, conducting archeological investigations on rock shelters, pit burials, bison kill sites, and countless other projects. He saw service in the Pacific, ferrying supplies to such outposts as Johnston Island, the Midway Islands, and the Marshalls. His ship, the USS Kishwaukee, was also involved in early atomic bomb testing at the Bikini and Enewetak atolls. Following military service, Tunnell returned to Texas and began working with archeologist Ed Jelks on the Texas Rivers Basin Survey project funded by the Smithsonian Institution. Tunnell followed his fieldwork with graduate studies at The University of Texas at Austin, receiving a master's degree in anthropology. From there, he became a field researcher for the University of Illinois and worked on such sites as the famed Cahokia Mounds, as well as projects in Kansas and Arizona. He then returned to Austin as Curator of Anthropology for the Texas Memorial Museum. In 1965, public demand for historic and archeological preservation led the Texas Legislature to create the position of State Archeologist and the person selected to fill the new position was Curtis Tunnell.
