description: 
L-R Unknown person, Steve Holen DMNS Curator of Archaeology and Ian Miller DMNS Curator of Paleontology and Chair of Earth Sciences at excavation site of Bison EPV.60678. This may be the only excavation where construction workers worked side by side with museum volunteers to remove the largest number of fossils in a short amount of time. Bulldozer drives deftly removed tons of top burden while experienced volunteers sifted through the dirt. Some drivers distinguish when the blade hit rock, bone, or wood by the way "it felt".
