Looks like they can't re-bury the evidence fast enough. Is Political Correctness the only "science" involved in this matter? Where is the evidence that these remains and others found in the region have any relationship with existing "Native American" groups?

[Just mythoughts]

That is the question of the day?

These PC people have been at PCing before it became mainstream. PC is the law of "new age" religion.

There was an indian village in the next County south of me that has been farmed for 200 years. I was hunting arrowheads there one day when an old-timer farmer stopped to chat. He told me when he was young (1920's) he and father would occasionally plow up a leg bone in the field.

They won't even photograph the bones?

That's nuts. When you consider what is done in current autopsies today, why do ancient people get treated like a holy relic?

[LRS]

Without a doubt, another registered Democrat...

[csvset]

Archaeologists will not photograph the bones..

WTH? Afraid that photographing the bones will steal their mojo?

Ancient remains found on peanut farm

[GOPJ]

In a word, YES.

Is Political Correctness the only "science" involved in this matter?

unearthed human remains with their backhoe

Kewl, 4800 year old backhoes!

Even though it's only bones, we think of it as a life."

Geez, what an ignorant fool.

BTW, peat does tend to preserve remains rather well. I remember years ago seeing and am still impressed with the Peat Bog Man in Denmark.

We could set off a fratricidal war among PC conformists by inciting CAIR to claim that these are the remains of an early Muslim explorer who died bringing the blessings of Islamic language and culture to the locals.

4800 years is too early for Islam, of course, but these are people who think Bush blew up the WTC and Osama is a Mossad agent, so a claim of a willful misdating conspiracy should present few problems.

Scientists believe he was headed to the campfire for the early bird special when, tragically, he fell into the peat bog.
