Who wants to bet that this skeleton votes Democrat in November?

Probably will vote Democrat. Because you know it's Bush's fault. It's his environmental policies that are to blame for early man's downfall.

Kennewick Man -- 9,300-year-old paleoindian

Error or agenda?

Said skeleton was found to be in possession of a forged SSN card, a California Driver's License signed by Gill Cedillo, $185 in Food Stamps and another $300 in WIC checks.

It also had a ER card from Northridge Hospital, Sherman Way campus.

Archaeologists were amazed, since they knew that Northridge Hospital, Sherman Way Campus has been closed for some time now.

GGG Ping.

"Meanwhile, John Johnson of the University of California, Santa Barbara, said an elaborate restudy of a woman's femur found on Santa Rosa Island in California's Channel Islands established a calendar-year age of 13,200 to 13,500 years. It had been calculated at about 1,000 years less when found in 1959."

We covered this a couple years ago, see below:

"But she told the conference that she would soon publish a paper establishing that humans occupied a site near Puebla east of Mexico City 21,000 to 28,000 years ago."

Excellent news.

If confirmed, ``that would be the oldest'' radio carbon date in the Americas obtained from a human bone, said archaeology textbook author Stuart Fiedel.

Not as old as this!

Good information! Thanks! Archaeology is really getting exciting now!

This is what keeps us going in spite of the ruined knees and aching lower backs (occupational hazards for archaeologists who actually get out into the field).

Cave diving, though. That takes real courage. Regular caves are dangerous, and diving is dangerous. Combining the two is a slow form of suicide. Stetsons off to those guys!

Geeze! Are you trying to frighten little kids?.........Uh, wonder if she goes out on Halloween? I wouldn't. One can only hope that somewhere there's a bag with her name on it.

Probably Ainu/Polynesian...like Kennewick Man.

The Chinese came later.
