A massive deposit of mutilated and processed human remains has been found in the American Southwest. The remains and other artifacts at the site, Sacred Ridge in Colorado, indicate ethnic cleansing took place there in the early ninth century. The genocide likely occurred due to conflict between different Anasazi Ancestral Puebloan ethnic groups. Crushed leg bones, battered skulls and other mutilated human remains are likely all that's left of a Native American population destroyed by genocide that took place circa 800 A.D., suggests a new study... The entire assemblage comprises 14,882 human skeletal fragments, as well as the mutilated remains of dogs and other animals killed at the massacre site -- Sacred Ridge, southwest of Durango, Colo. Based on the archaeological findings, which include two-headed axes that tested positive for human blood, co-authors Jason Chuipka and James Potter believe the genocide occurred as a result of conflict between different Anasazi Ancestral Puebloan ethnic groups... The unearthed bones and artifacts indicate that when the violence took place, men, women and children were tortured, disemboweled, killed and often hacked to bits. In some cases, heads, hands and feet appear to have been removed as trophies for the killers. The attackers then removed belongings out of the structures and set the roofs on fire... The researchers ruled out other possible explanations, such as starvation cannibalism, traditional preparation of the deceased, and even individuals targeted for practicing witchcraft. Cannibalism, for example, usually involves bone marrow processing. Witch roundups tend to affect a relatively small number of victims. In this case, a large group of people was dispatched at one time.

That's what I thought too the noble peace loving native indians.

All living in perfect harmony with nature and with each other.

Of course.

[pabianice]

... but... but... we have been told that early Americans lived in peace and harmony with nature and each other... it was evil Europeans that destroyed their paradise... I’m so confused...

[LongElegantLegs]

Wait, how is this possible? I have it on good authority that the natives were just a bunch of fluffy, indigenous kittens until we showed up...

[a fool in paradise]

That's what I thought too the noble peace loving native indians.

Peaceful like the muslims, there can be peace if they are allowed to dominate all others... < 1/2 sarc >

This can’t be true. Everybody knows the indigenous persons lived in harmony with mother earth until the paleface capitalists showed up. /sarcasm

"Happened about the same time Mohamed arrived. Connections? "

When they pointed out the hands feet and heads were cut off I was thinking Islam? You have to remember Islam locks people into tribal customs that is what Islam is about.

:’) The PreColumbian prehistory as well as history is the same as the prehistory and history everywhere else in the world. For example, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a tribe from what is now NY state arrived (led by the “vision” of a shaman) and fought those who were already there in what is remembered as the Rice Wars (this would be what we call “wild rice”, which grows right under the ice). The local tribes around here were invaded by tribes from the western shore of Lake Michigan, who crossed in great numbers by boat (obviously), a century or so before us sodbusters showed up.

About ten years ago (maybe longer?) I read about one of the abandoned PreColumbian structures; it had been divided rather crudely by new walls, as if two factions couldn’t agree to share everything and couldn’t stand the sight of each other. Then, sometime not long after, there was a massacre, which included cannibalism of those killed.

War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage by Lawrence H. Keeley Kindle Hardcover

---

reviewed by T.J. Nelson
September 4, 2006

It is sometimes claimed that warfare among primitive (or to use the currently fashionable term, "preliterate") peoples, when it occurs, is usually short in duration, more like a feud that ends after only a few deaths, after which the natives return to their natural state of harmony with each other and grooving with Mother Nature. Many recent attempts at studying war, in elaborating this myth, are in reality little more than disguised Western civilization-bashing. This important book by Lawrence H. Keeley, a cultural anthropologist, provides evidence that thoroughly and devastatingly debunks the popular myth of the peaceful preliterate society.
