In this episode, Carlton sits down with archaeologist Amy Gillaspie to revisit their shared time working with the remarkable Jones-Miller Bison Kill Site collections at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. They begin by exploring the archaeological significance of Jones-Miller, one of the most important Paleoindian bison kill and processing sites on the Great Plains. Amy discusses the site’s history, why it remains foundational to understanding communal hunting practices, and what makes its collection so unique.
Together, Carlton and Amy reflect on their experiences working side by side with the Jones-Miller materials, offering insight into what the artifacts reveal about site organization, behavior, and the challenges of interpreting a massive legacy collection.
The conversation then turns to the broader importance of revisiting museum collections and how new methods continue to shed light on old data. Amy also shares her thoughts on the future of Paleoindian research, preservation, and why the stewardship of legacy collections, such as those of Jones-Miller, remains essential for advancing Great Plains archaeology.
