There was a show about this on the Discovery Channel. The presence of chemicals unique to human meat was found in coprolites -- fossilized dung -- taken from Chaco.

Maybe CJD did them in.

They attempt to draw questionbable conclusions with any data found.

I have issues with archeologists/anthropologists our religion is only myth and legend, not respected and our dead are dug up in the name science.

Saw that. I thought it was odd that the team reprised all of Turner's evidence but he wasn't mentioned in the part I saw -- I missed part of the beginning. To me it looked as if they were trying to take credit for his work.

Yup, that was Christy Turner's 'slam-dunk.' (It was more like 'mummified' dung.)
