Box 1

Box one contains various biographical information, including photographs of Pat O'Brien and Donna Roper and copies of Pat's CV and obituary. Contents also include miscellaneous newspaper articles and correspondence that are not associated with a dedicated project or research area, award nominations, and society/commission materials from Professional Archaeologists of Kansas (PAK), Iowa Archaeological Society, Kansas Antiquities Commission, Sigma Xi, Ellis Island Centennial Commission, and Plains Anthropological Society. Other materials include a collection of conference booklets and abstracts from the American Indian Workshop, Flint Hills Conference, and Plains Anthropological Conference (1969-2002).

Box 10

Box ten contains archaeological research materials related to the Manhattan locality or directly tied to Kansas State University (or its predecessor: Bluemont Central College). Topics include the Seger Mastadon, fossil finds and archaeological sites in Manhattan, and broader Kansas archaeology materials. Also included are oral history interview transcripts conducted by Pat with some of her friends, including Abby Marlatt.

Box 11

Box eleven contains photographs related to various research topics with corresponding materials and paperwork in other series. Topics include sacred sites and hot springs research (South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana), Washington Marlatt homestead, the razing of the Kansas Artificial Breeding Service buildings, miscellaneous postcards, and a Yucatan photo booklet.

Box 3

Box 3 includes research materials and manuscripts about the Mississippian culture settlement, Cahokia.

Box 4

Box four contains research related to the Plains Village era site, Steed-Kisker. Since ties to Cahokia were theorized, some tie-in for Cahokia materials is possible within the materials. Given that this site is located near Kansas City, other research materials that pertain to that locality are also housed in box four, including a manuscript of a paper on Mississippian Developments in the Kansas City Locality, infrared aerial photographs of the area, and other broader topics such as Mississippian pottery and Missourian archaeology sites. Box four also includes materials related to the Mesoamerica series.

Box 4

Box four contains research materials related to Mesoamerica and, more specifically, Pat's Mayan measurement system research. Items include correspondence about the project with Hanne Christiansen and others, NEH and NSF grant applications, project-related manuscripts, comments from other scholars, measurement reports, and site floor plans. Box four also includes materials related to the Prehistoric Native Americans of the Great Plains series.

Box 5

Box five contains a continuation of research and materials related to Pat's Mayan measurement system research, including general research and other site floor plans.
