Yes, and Kennewick Man was apparently a Caucasian. Bad news for the multicultural nazis on the Left, it seems.

He didn't last long and was erased from American history (that is, he was given a proper Indian burial).

"He didn't last long and was erased from American history (that is, he was given a proper Indian burial)."

Nope. He is not buried yet, still in the courts. (The site where he was found was completely destroyed by the Corps Of Engineers on orders from 'higher ups' in the Clinton Administration.)

I thought that they had decided to hand him over to an Indian tribe. My error.

"I thought that they had decided to hand him over to an Indian tribe. My error."

When the Smithsonian Institute joined the fray on the side of the scientists who want further testing, the tone/politics changed dramatically.

LOL!

By the way, does anyone doubt that the tree huggers and other urban sprawl riff raff will be out in force to claim that there should be no construction within a thousand square miles of the dig.

This is a 3 year old discovery and we get to hear about it now, thanks to the federal bureaucracy. I wonder when we'll get to see a clay re-creation of the Lake Jackson girl?

Girl?

[petuniasevan]

D'Aigle said experts who examined the remains believe they are from an adolescent female who was about 4 feet tall

Girl.

Thanks for another informative article.

"D'Aigle said experts who examined the remains believe they are from an adolescent female who was about 4 feet tall"

Thanks. LOL. How could I have missed that. (could I blame this on old age?)

[blam]

FYI.

Skeletal Remains May Be 11,000 Years Old
(Lake Jackson, Texas)

Excerpt:

D'Aigle sent an ear bone and a sample of soil from within the skull to the Stafford Research Laboratories for analysis. Stafford said that, while his own radiocarbon testing was inconclusive, other signs, such as the soil in which the bones were found, point to the remains being at least 11,000 years old.

Stafford also said the importance of d'Aigle's find is not necessarily that it is the oldest human skeleton on the continent, but that it is one of so very few.

As such, he termed it "a pretty incredible discovery" on par with two other 10,000- to 11,000-year-old specimens, one from Montana and the other from California.

"Our population of prehistoric skeletons is pretty small."

Besides, he said, the University of Arizona has a "spectacular" lab and is capable of reliable radiocarbon testing. However, he too said more testing by other labs is needed to determine the age of the remains.

As for the discovery's importance, he said, "I'd give a very enthusiastic but qualified 'yes.'

"I think we're in the right ballpark for age. I think it really may be what Bob (d'Aigle) thinks it is."

If there are any Anthropology/Scientific/Technical types that have expertise here please comment? Thanks....

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!

"Our population of prehistoric skeletons is pretty small."

Yes. I have named most of the 8,000+ year old on this thread already. There is one skeleton found on an island off the coast of California that (I've read) is expected to exceed the 10,500 year old Luzia date. That was before this announcement. There are a number of human sites (artifacts) that are pushing the 20,000 year old date. (This excludes the controversial 200,000 year old Calico site in California)

Thanks for the ping. Don't the Mormons believe that there was a caucasian tribe in America a long time ago?

The scary thing is that the skeleton is still a registered, voting Democrat.

[Illbay]

The find comes as scientists are rethinking the long-held theory that North and South America were populated by prehistoric tribes that crossed from Asia via a Bering Strait land bridge. Even those who don't question the migration aren't sure about its timing.

***JAREDITE PING!!!!***

"Don't the Mormons believe that there was a caucasian tribe in America a long time ago?"

Yes. A lot of people do.

Was America A Phoenician Colony?
