Is Kennewick Man curently above ground? Wasn't there an "inconvenient" skeleton that was buried very, very thoroughly during the Clinton Administration?

Not sure about the actual bones, but I do recall that in the name of all that is PC they bulldozed the site and buried it under tons of fill. As archeologists will point out, sometimes excavating the site of such a find can provide a treasure trove of artifacts and associated remains, as valubale or more so than the actual remains.

Too late for any of that.

The actual skeleton is intact and safe (except from the Indians' lawyers)!

The discovery site was bulldozed and wrip-wrapped with rocks by the Corps of Engineers because it didn't want to be bothered by the difficulties of dealing with the Indians' lawyers on the issue.

Meanwhile, if one of us picks up an arrowhead or digs for artifacts, we can go to jail for violating the Antiquities Act (which apparently doesn't apply to the Corps).
