Professional Papers
The Professional Papers series, 1956-2011, consists of materials relating to Zurel's work in the field of archaeology documenting Native American groups in Michigan, including the Chippewa, Potawatomi, and Odawa (Ottawa). The series contains school papers, field notes, survey reports, maps of archaeological digs, and photographs of artifacts and digs. One of the papers, "Birmingham School Board Site," was written by Zurel while in high school. Zurel's survey reports cover archaeological digs in Southeast Michigan, including the counties of Oakland, Washtenaw, Macomb, and Monroe. Visual materials include photographs taken at different archaeological sites and on Native American reservations in Michigan, as well as images of Native American artifacts.
The series also contains newsletters and minutes related to the Michigan Archaeological Society and the Aboriginal Research Club of Detroit.
