I guess so, but I get the impression from the article that the skeleton was discovered decades ago.

Seems like a ridiculously long time, especially in light of the Kenniwick Man fiasco.

We need hard evidence that Europeans (and other non-Native Americans) were here before Columbus or we're going to lose access to these skeletons before we get a chance to study them.

Independent testing will be interesting and is needed. No Mormon bashing is intended, but they do have a vested interest in establishing that there was a substantial population of European/Middle Eastern origin in America during pre-Viking times, and the fact that the DNA testing was performed in Utah is notable.
