John R. Bozell, Gayle F. Carlson, and Robert E. Pepperl have all played important roles in Nebraska archeological inquiry for decades. Bozell is currently the Nebraska state archeologist with History Nebraska and Carlson (now deceased) held that position before he retired. Pepperl began his career at the University of Nebraska but went on to become a leading Nebraska archeology consultant. These archeologists have published widely on important aspects of both Native American and Euro-American archeology in Nebraska.
