I have not been able to determine if there is enough of any DNA in the "bones" left to run a sample on. When I press the question with the museum they get weird. Guess I need to make a big donation!!!! Too bad becasue my daughter has access to one the best DNA labs in the West.
Also I remembered over dinner that 9 years ago when I started this quest an old rancher was the first to tell me about the red headed people. He maintained that they were nothing more than Vikings and the Paiutes couldn't tell time. After some research I went back to him and asked how explained the "findings". He said "Nothing can be counted on when it has been covered with bat cra$ for a few hundred years!"
Any teeth? You have a much better chance of getting ancient mtDNA from teeth.
The On Your Knees Cave sample, at 10,300 years old, was obtained from a tooth and yielded usable mtDNA (after about three years of work). Brian Kemp, who did that work, is setting up a new lab to concentrate on ancient DNA, so there should be some great new data coming!
