Courte biographie
Ellen "Sue" Turner was born in Jackson, Michigan and grew up during the Great Depression. Her father Clyde Redinger, despite struggling financially to support his family, supplemented their education by taking them on road trips all over the USA. These trips instilled in Sue's lifelong love for archeology and Native American artifacts. In 1945, she married Norman Innes Turner, with whom she had four children. Once the children were grown, Sue went back to college, receiving her bachelor's degree in anthropology from the University of Texas, San Antonio, in 1979. She participated in archeological digs and was a fellow and served as president of the Texas Archeological Society. She was author of numerous publications, including, with Thomas R. Hester, A Field Guide to Stone Artifacts of Texas Indians, for which they received a citation "for outstanding contribution to Texas History" from the San Antonio Conservation Society. Richard McReynolds joined them as co-author and illustrator for the third edition, which become the standard reference for Texas archeologists. She was
the recipient of an Archaeological Lifetime Achievement Award from the Southern Texas Archaeological Association and the Curtis Tunnell Lifetime Achievement Award in Archeology from the Texas Historical Commission.

The line drawings of artifacts are superior to photos as the artist can show just what he or she wants and the accurracy is preserved with no confusing photo backdrop or tonal trouble.

There are many references in the several appendixes
