Description
A partial skeleton was discovered near Kennewick, Washington, in 1996. The author, an anthropologist, noticed the features of the skeleton were Caucasoid, yet had characteristics that appeared only in American Indian skeletons. It was also estimated at 9,500 years old. In this record of his experiences, Chatters offers a rare look at the collision of science, politics, federal law, and cultural traditions. of photos.
