***Indeed, the archaeological record from the period is rife with evidence of hand-to-hand combat: fractured skulls, broken arms, even body parts taken as trophies. ***

Bunkum. Everyone knows the pre Colombian period was all paradise on earth! Any lib will tell you that life here was a bed of roses till the evil white man showed up.

***obsidian points were still embedded in their spines.***

Well at least the condors didn’t get poisoned by lead!

“Their bodies riddled with arrow points”

San Francisco.......a history of men getting the shaft.

...some 560 years ago...

Just shows the brutality of the European invaders.
Wait. What?

These may be early Pelosians, who met an untimely death when they first suggested that “We will just have to pass it to see what’s in it,” while trying to take over leadership of the local tribe. Early politics.

If Obama’s ancestor had three primordial prodigal sons pushed into a 15th century pit grave...

The men had been interred in mass-grave fashion, without being placed in a traditional, flexed position and without any grave goods. And all of them had suffered obvious physical trauma

Obamacare through the ages.

The 15th Century is “pre-historic”?

I question anyone calling anything north of San Francisco “Central Callifornia”. I could be central east to west, but Central California is generally known as the San Joaquin Valley, far south of Yolo. Sacramento, and environs, is known as “North Valley”.

Otherwise, this is fascinating.

Absolutely fascinating. I didn’t realize that we could be traced to wherever we spent any time, and not just by the Keystone NSA. Love this.

...born and raised in the same region where they were buried, but having spent most of their adult lives far away.

Sounds like they were exiled early in their lives (young hooligans, blasphemers maybe?) and executed by 'firing squad' when they returned.
