"Douglas Owsley, a forensic anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History."

I have a lot of respect for this guy. It was his voice and the weight and prestige of the Smithsonian Institute that kept the Indians from Re-burying the bones of Kennewick Man before they could be studied.

This poor kid was worked to death.

My son played the part of Oliver in his HS play of the same title.

Fascinating story. Poor kid had a hard life.

Do you think John-John will say it was Bush's fault?

I had an ancestor who served a full term of indenturement in the Plymouth colony.

Bet he'd laugh himself to death if he heard me complain about my back.

My Daddy claims we are one of the first families of Georgia. Our ancestor came across on the prison ship.

[colorado tanker]

Wow. And I can't even get my teenager to clean her own room.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Thanks for pointing that out.

If I remember correctly, one of the reasons the 'Native Americans' wanted to bury the K. man in such a hurry was that they were afraid the forensic investigators would discover what the 'Native Americans' feared they would discover: that the K. man was of Asian heritage, thus disproving that the 'Native Americans' were, in fact, native, and providing greater evidence that 'Native Americans' would be better termed 'Previous Settlers.'

But I'm writing this based upon a couple of articles I read quite a while ago.

Maybe it was the first known evidence of an American youth moving back into his parent's basement after college. Corn diet=Doritos.

And: They were lving in the most modern" of times, in those days.

Uh huh, William Neale, AKA Hannibal Lecter The First.

I was just going to post this and ping you -- and lookee what the search engine turned up! Interesting story.

[SuziQ]

Slaves brought to the African diaspora a tradition of burying children beneath floorboards

Ewww!

"Beneath a few feet of rubbish, along a basement wall of a house from the 1660s near modern-day Annapolis, was a human skeleton stuffed into a small grave. This is the region's first discovery of an apparent 17th-century basement burial, experts say."

PING

This is a "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" -- Archeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc. PING list.

Please FREEPMAIL me, if you want on or off this list.

I just got the list from farmfriend, so those of you who haven’t been pinged lately, please check the link above, where you can find the links to the more recent articles.

LOOKING FOR volunteer to take the ping list and the ping task over. I took it temporarily, to continue it, but I am becoming very busy and there may be days when I am not available. Please FReepmail me, if you would be interested. On the average it’s only a ping a day or so. (Some days more, then for a few days there may be nothing). In the meantime I’ll do it, but you may get some pings a little late.
