Biographical Note

As Gary Matlock, Supervisory Archaeologist (Ret.) of the
U.S. Forest Service wrote in his appraisal of the textual
portions of the Hayes collection, Mr. Hayes worked for most
of his career "as a researcher for the National Park Service
and supervised or worked on a number of major excavation
and research projects for them." Those projects included
the Wetherill Mesa Project and others mentioned in the scope
and contents note.
