I believe it was coprolite analysis that conclusively proved that cannibalism had been practiced in the pre-Columbian American Southwest...it was written up in a book of a few years back called Man Corn (I haven't seen the book but read an article which discussed the book's findings).

I actually might have examined some of those bones. Green-stick fractures of the femurs (getting to the marrow while the bone is still fresh), lack of collagen in the bones (probably boiled), lots of cut marks at the epiphesis. Fairly gristly stuff actually. Christy Turner had sent the bones to my professor for a second opinion.

I'll have to look up the book. Ahh, and guess what? It is by none other than Christy Turner. Interesting.
