    Kennewick Man Opens Up...Reveals New Secrets.

    http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...nt-ngbooktalk/


    In the summer of 1996, while wading in the shallows of the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington, two students stumbled onto a skeleton. Dated to 7000 to 6900 B.C., it would turn out to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made in North America.

    ........

    Kennewick Man is not what I'd have expected before we began the analysis and before I'd seen him. He was found on the banks of the Columbia River in 1996. He's about five feet seven and a half. His weight is right around 161 pounds. He's very wide-bodied, very strong. Age of death is around 40.

    Good article. Kennewick Man has had my attention for many years. DNA testing would be nice.

    Googled it - Appears age of bones prevented results.
