In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton sits down with Michael Page of the Wyoming State Archaeologist’s Office to explore a lesser-known side of Wyoming archaeology, its rich and varied ceramic traditions. While Wyoming is often defined by its iconic Paleoindian kill sites, Michael’s work reminds us that the region’s history is far more diverse than the stone tools and bison jumps that dominate public imagination.

This episode highlights the vital role of ceramic research in understanding the Northwest Plains and offers a fresh perspective on Wyoming's deep human history.
