This series contains field notes, slides, photographs, records of archaeological excavations and artifacts, cameras, and other material used by Sylvia M. Broadbent to document her research and field work. Materials include tools used in the field to excavate, clean, identify, and describe artifacts, as well as photographic documentation of artifacts, archaeological sites, and other locations. Notes, manuscripts, reports, and correspondence exclusively pertaining to fieldwork and documentation are also included. The bulk of the slides are labeled, while only select photographs are individually captioned.

Because many folders maintain the original filing scheme of the creator, select records outside the scope of this series are included.
