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.…
