The man was part of a hunter-gatherer culture known as the Windmiller, one of the earliest sedentary societies in the Central Valley, usually identified by its distinct burial practices, Bartelink said.

3800 years ago? That is old. I had never heard of the "Windmiller" man.
The Kennewick man (Caucasian, not Asian) was thought to be the first homo sapiens sapiens in the new world. They hunted the giant mastodons.

I’m just glad they were able to study it.

Kennewick wasn’t caucasion, that was a misidentification by someone who didn’t know he was dealing with a very old skeleton. This skeleton is about 4000 years younger.
