". Stafford said that, while his own radiocarbon testing was inconclusive, other signs, such as the soil in which the bones were found, point to the remains being at least 11,000 years old."
I never read anywhere that Helen Thomas drowned...

They better hurry up with their examination. Local Indians will claim the bones for re-burial.

Skeletal remains are notorious for not remaining long. For example, yesterday next to the dog's house there was a fresh skeleton, whether bird or squirrel was hard to tell, the skeleton being incomplete. Today when the dog was let back outside [dog comes in at night], the skeleton was gone. Didn't last 10,000 years. Didn't last 12 hours.
In the article, if the human skeleton's prior owner expired in the open, it would be remarkable that anything remained. If the skeleton were buried, either by a natural process or by acquaintances, then the odds would have been less remarkable but still not assured.

They better hurry up with their examination. Local Indians will claim the bones for re-burial. You got that right. Hey Eric: Do you hail from the Missouri Ozarks? If so, following any of the dig news from Big Eddy in Cedar County?

He cautioned that federal regulations about the handling of Native American remains and artifacts will first have to be considered. Isn't there some sort of statute of limitations for archaeology? Let's have a little common sense: these remains are over ten thousand years old, not a few hundred (at which point it would be reasonable to discuss the matter with any existing relevant tribes).

"If it's a Caucasian skeleton that means the In'juns exterminated us first." There are no American Indian/Native American skeletons ever found in North america that are older than 6,000 years old. All the older human skeletons (North America) have been the Ainu/Joman (Kennewick/Spirit Cave man and Buhl Woman) variety.
Dog Gone, do you know how to 'ping' the Texas folks to this thread? (If so, please do)

There have been several stories on the Big Eddy dig. So far, just pottery shards and arrowheads. The Electric Coop's monthly paper had a piece a month or so ago. I don't think they were Norwegians.
