A native of Turkey, Texas, Tunnell recalled his homeland of the Texas rolling plains as a beautiful place for a boy to grow up in the years before World War II. The land had a tremendous impact on Tunnell, as did his encounters with various cultures, both ancient and modern. By the time he left home for West Texas State College in Canyon, his interests in geology, paleontology, and anthropology were already developing. At West Texas, Tunnell worked in the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum. 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.Following military service, Tunnell returned to Texas and began working with archeologist Ed Jelks on the Texas River Basins Survey project funded by the Smithsonian Institution. Their first investigations took place along the McGee Bend of the Angelina River in East Texas, later impounded as part of Sam Rayburn Reservoir. He also worked in the Lake Amistad area along the Rio Grande. 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. There, he and W. W. Newcomb undertook pioneering work at a site that proved to be the location of Mission San Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz, established by the Spanish in 1762 to minister to the Lipan Apache. In 1965, public demand for historic and archeological preservation led the Texas Legislature to create the position of State Archeologist. For the first time, Texas had a formal public archeology program, and the person selected to fill the new position was Curtis Tunnell. First assigned to the Texas State Building Commission, the State Archeologist was transferred to the Texas State Historical Survey Committee (later the Texas Historical Commission) in 1969.

The principle features of the site were four small mounds, all of which were excavated in 1957 and 1958. This study is divided into 3 parts. The first section is a description of the site which includes the excavation and structural details of each mound; the second section comprises the description and distribution of the artifacts; the final section is a brief summary which includes comparisons and conclusions.

Panoramic Photograph of Bertram Goodhue's San Diego Marine Corps Base Handsome 1920s panoramic photograph with views of San Diego's iconic Marine Corps Recruiting Depot buildings. The top image is a bird's-eye. Original panoramic silver gelatin photograph with two views on single sheet. Three 1-inch tears at margins, two of which barely touch the image on left side. Overall condition is excellent, with the photographic views very sharp and clean. Panoramic Photograph of Bertram Goodhue's San Diego Marine Corps Base Handsome 1920s panoramic photograph with views of San Diego's iconic Marine Corps Recruiting Depot buildings. The top image is a bird's-eye view which shows the entire Marine Corps compound with a fine vista of San Diego Bay and Point Loma very clearly visible in the background. The lower image is a close-up view of the distinctive arched colonnade of the Spanish Colonial Revival buildings that comprise the MCRD. The latter view shows an airplane in midair, perhaps about to land on North Island. The photograph is captioned "U.S. Marine Barracks."Bertram Goodhue and the Spanish Colonial RevivalThe MCRD buildings were designed by noted architect Bertram Goodhue, who also designed most of the buildings of the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Diego's Balboa Park. Goodhue's largescale commissions in San Diego influenced local building styles and helped popularize the Spanish Colonial Revival. For the MCRD he used a somewhat stripped-down version of the Spanish style, with minimal decoration, incorporating the Mission-style arches more characteristic of his local architectural rival Irving Gill. Goodhue also designed buildings for the United States Military Academy in Westpoint, New York.MCRD opened in 1921 as Marine Base San Diego and the present panoramic photograph was likely made soon after the opening, certainly in the first part of the 1920s.O. A. Tunnell was active as a photographer in San Diego during the 1920s. He is noted for his panoramic views.The Marines and San DiegoThe story of MCRD San Diego began with Colonel Joseph Pendleton, who, after experiencing unsatisfactory conditions at Camp Howard on North Island, San Diego, advocated for a permanent Marine Corps base in the region. His speech on September 6, 1914, at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego, titled "San Diego, An Ideal Location for a Permanent Marine Corps Base," highlighted the need for better facilities for his men and staff. Around the same time, he wrote to the Commandant of the Marine Corps in Washington D.C., stressing the deplorable conditions at Camp Howard and proposing the idea of establishing a permanent base in San Diego.The proposal gained traction, and the Navy General Board approved the establishment of a base on January 8, 1916. Subsequently, the Dutch Flats area was authorized for the Marine Corps base by a Naval appropriation bill on August 29, 1916, largely due to Congressman William Kettner's efforts. Groundbreaking on the 232-acre site occurred on March 2, 1919, with construction and occupation extending through 1926.On December 1, 1921, Pendleton, now a General, officially commissioned the facility as the Marine Advanced Expeditionary Base, San Diego. In 1923, the Marine Recruit Depot for the west coast was relocated from the Mare Island Navy Shipyards in Vallejo, California, to the San Diego Marine Base. By March 1, 1924, the base was officially named Marine Corps Base, San Diego.RarityThis panorama is rare in the market. No examples recorded in OCLC, which only notes a handful of Tunnell's photographs, notably a 1919 panorama of President Woodrow Wilson greeting 50,000 people at Balboa Stadium in San Diego, held in the Library of Congress.
