These scientists who set out to prove or disprove tales of cannibalism by members of the legendary Donner Party, who were marooned in the Sierra Nevada for the long winter of 1846-47, presented their findings Thursday Jan. 12, 2006, at a conference of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Their report could change the way the Donner family goes down in history.(AP Photo/Debra Reid, File)
