Photographs depicting two Smithsonian archeologists, George Metcalf and Dennis Stanford, with Jack Maddox at the Jones-Miller site in northeast Colorado. The photographs were made for the National Geographic Society in July 1973.
Biographical/Historical note:
The Jones-Miller Bison Kill Site, located in Yuma County, Colorado, was a Paleo-Indian site where ancient bison were butchered, perhaps as early as 8000-8050 BC. After its discovery by rancher Robert Jones, Jr. and test excavation by local anthropologist Jack Miller, archeologist Dennis Stanford headed full-scale excavations of the Jones-Miller site. The Smithsonian excavation, with funding from the National Geographic Society, was performed between 1973 and 1978.
Dennis J. Stanford was an archeologist, scholar of early North American inhabitants, and advocate for the Solutrean hypothesis. He was a curator of North American archeology, particularly Paleoindian archeology, at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. George S. Metcalf was a field archeologist, historian of the Great Plains, and supervisor of the processing laboratory of the department of anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution.
