Stowell, James Vinton, 1896-1970 : James Vinton Stowell was born in in Elmira, New York. He studied at the Elmira Free Academy and the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts, followed by studies in Paris in 1917. He served in the U.S. Navy in 1917-1918 and from 1919 to 1943 lived in New York City as art director of various advertising agencies, moving to Rochester for three years and then to Elmira in 1946 where he was vice-president and Art Director of the Mellor Advertising Agency.

He devoted a lifetime to amateur archaeology of largely Iroquoian sites and to the prehistoric Lamoka culture. Most of his relics were deposited in the Chemung County Museum. He excavated one Algonquin site on northern Manhattan Island and did some work on New Mexican Mimbres pottery. He was also active at Huron sites near Bobcagean, Ontario in the Trent river system where he excavated unusual examples of Iroquoian pipes and pottery.

He collected Inuit and Naskapi artifacts on his voyages in Labrador, Hudson Bay and Baffin Island from the 1920's to the 1950's. In 1946 he travelled to Nova Scotia and Labrador on the ship Bowdoin under Captain Donald B. MacMillan and in 1952 on the Regina Polaris in Hudson Bay. He lectured and wrote extensively, largely on his expeditions to the North and on archaeology.
