Notes
1996 circa- Dr. Bruce Young, an associate of the Denver and Museum of Nature and Science, found a collection of scrap material while excavating on City of Broomfield Open Space land. He gave the material to the museum. As the city is a political subdivision by law any specimens should not have been turned over to the city or given to the museum.
2012-DMNS added the material to its 2012 statewide permit and Heather Thorwald, DMNS Registrar, and Kevin Black, Assistant State Archeologist, approved of transferring the material to the Mame Doud Eisenhower Library for programming use. See files for correspondence.
