ITHACA, N.Y. — Kurt A. Jordan, associate professor in Cornell University’s department of anthropology and Native American studies, has found evidence through his research that suggests several parts of Ithaca lies above ancient burial grounds of Haudenosaunee Indians.

Jordan said his finding are based on a “paper trail” of books and documents, some dating centuries ago, because he didn’t have the permission to excavate in Ithaca.

I imagine if you ask sunkenciv and his crowd, they would have a better or more scholarly answer.

Wow. Great answer. Thanks. Makes sense.

There’s an unfinished highway on staten island. Would have made commuting life much easier but liberals shot it down because of the Greenbelt.

Thing is, some parts are already mostly covered in grass some 30 years later. Used to walk on it as a kid.
