He desecrated graves and stole skulls from remains — including from fresh burials (it’s in the article). He also manually put arrowheads into some of these skulls to make it look like that was their cause of death.
And the items that would have been of archeological or anthropological significance weren’t documented or handled in such a way to as to make them useful from a historical point of view.
Let’s not glorify this.

- mbreese 5y ago> Videos and photos taken by Miller and Sue show the two of them digging in the Dakotas, Mexico, South America, and elsewhere, often in remote areas. In one video, Miller—with an ear-to-ear smile—is shoving a skull into a brown bag as other bones sit nearby. In South Dakota, Miller is lying in a recently dug grave. A photo from Mexico shows a child’s casket. I’m not really going to quibble with whether or not there was a body in the recently dug grave or not. I don’t think the distinction matters. And child sized caskets aren’t exactly found in “ancient burial grounds”. A bit further down in the article… > And in one of the most disturbing shots, a Native American skull cut in half is filled with yellow apples. Until now, the FBI has never shared any of these images. “I want to dispel the notion that Don was a responsible collector,” Carpenter says. “He was not. He was a grave robber.”
