I used to live in Yorktown Virginia & I found stuff in my flower beds all the time. Not bodies, of course, but old broken pots, hand blown wine bottles, pieces of cannon balls & the tips of clay pipes by the dozens.

"The atmospheric effects of the 1883 explosion were felt worldwide."

Yup. A ship ten miles from Krakatoa survived....it's also called the loudest sound ever heard by humans. The year with out summer.

Thanks blam! I miss digging!

"Oh would I ever love to find something like this while digging in my yard!"

Don't give up hope. You're not to far from Lake Jackson.

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

I have heard of that. I have a faint memory from years ago about the bones and brass buttons, buckles, and such of a British soldier from the revolution found in the woods of New Hampshire. I have heard other stories about Civil War bones found all the time.

I read a book called "The Fall of Berlin" recently. In Germany- they still find at least 1000 bodies among the pine woods of the "Seelow Heights" (the last real defensive line on the outskirts of Berlin).

Thank you for the information. I had often wondered about other materials contaminating a sample that was being tested.

On the Washington side of the Columbia River is a replica of Stone Henge. I want to go back some day and spend some time there to get a"feel for it". We didn't have much time the one time we visited.

The new discovery was found almost exactly a year after the Amesbury Archer was found during excavation for a housing scheme at Boscombe Down, Amesbury, three miles from Stonehenge.

Eh. A housing scheme.

Britain has done a wonderful job of protecting its countryside and not crapping it up with modern "housing schemes." They're under serious population pressures to change that.

it woud seem that your old flower garden was on a old trashpit.

Yes, I know why he was named Pendragon.

It was actually a nick-name, not as widely believed, a surname.

He suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome, from over-training with the sword as a young boy.

That caused ulner nerve damge. As a result, his hand drooped, and it also caused him to have problems with his grip, and especially, use of his thumb.

When he wrote, he could not hold a quill properly, resulting in his pen dragging across the parchment.

The other nobles' sons mocked him, naming him "Pen-Dragging" Uther.

In the accented speech of the day, this became Uther, Pendrag'n.

There is also a bawdy story that seems to explain it, but it has generally been discredited.

I had been wondering...
