THE DALLES — Sixty years ago, a Native American maul sparked Lawrence “Larry” Hughes’ lifelong passion for archaeology, and started a collection of Gorge-area Native artifacts that numbers some 290 items. Now, he’s passing the collection on to caretakers at Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum.
Museum Registrar Susan Buce received the donation in June and began cataloging items soon after.
Collector Larry Hughes acquired a number of projectile points.
Some of the items come with little provenance attached, and Susan Buce needs to research them. Larry Hughes did “a fantastic job of documenting where, when and from who” he acquired items, Buce said. “It’s been a very educational process for everyone who works in collections.”
