The Dent Site is one of the most important sites that tells us about Colorado's earliest hunter-gatherers, the Clovis people. It shows one of the first contacts between humans and mammoths. Today, the site is on private land which poses some challenges for us.

Our project involved a holistic approach for interpreting the site. Natalie and Nolan focused on education plans to start teaching archaeology to students at both the elementary and high school level. Paige and Danny looked into ways to acquire funding to increase accessibility and interpretation of the site to the general public. Finally, Margaret explored the topic of tribal consultation that would be needed for development or interpretation of the site. Interpretation of this archaeological resource can provide several benefits! It can lead to increased community engagement and education in archaeology related topics; development of trails could increase accessibility of the site; and acquisition of the land means the site could be managed and protected for the enjoyment and education of future generations
