Abstract
Hannah Marie Wormington's (1914–1994) archaeological career spanned six decades. She made many important contributions to the development of North American archaeological method, theory, and knowledge, particularly in the study of Paleoindian and Archaic cultures across the American West. This paper offers a critical analysis of Wormington's contributions to archaeological research, collections acquisition and curation, and exhibition and outreach activities, among many programs that were her responsibility as a museum-based archaeologist. In so doing, this paper offers new insights on the career of a fascinatingly complex scientist whose legacy and career, 33 years of which occurred at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, have yet to receive the critical attention they so deserve.
