Fair enough.

Like I said, I'm just barely learning about bones.

How do you distinguish races, by looking at skulls?

Charlie, I've posted quite a bit about that vey thing. Somewhere on this board are several posts describing the skeletal differences between the races.

I'll find them for you later but I'm going to a football party with some old friends.

There's a lot more than just the skull that's used to differentiate man's ancestry. Later.

This is a video about Chaco Canyon. Narrated by Robert Redford, it is nearly an hour long.

Not anything one wants to do while posting. But it can be saved to Favorites or whatever and watched at your leisure.

Good flick.

The possibly primitive structure, made from earth, appears to be a circular enclosure, constructed by excavating a ditch. The circular ditch, 150 feet in diameter, encloses a space called a central platform by archaeologists.
Cochran has told The Star Press in the past that "archaeology is all around us -- not just in Egypt or South America." Pre-historic sites "are part of the puzzle of what these people were doing here in East Central Indiana right about 2,000 years ago."
Beth McCord, assistant director of archaeological research at Ball State, noted it was funny that such an important archaeological site could be overlooked just 150 feet from Ind. 32.
"The fact it's in the middle of a woods indicates the woods is poorly drained or there's something in there that makes it non-cultivatable," McCord said. "In this case, it may be a ditch."

Something is pretty familiar about this.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - U.S. and Puerto Rican archaeologists say they have found the best-preserved pre-Columbian site in the Caribbean, which could shed light on virtually every aspect of Indian life in the region, from sacred rituals to eating habits.

The archaeologists believe the site in southern Puerto Rico may have belonged to the Taino or pre-Taino people that inhabited the island before European colonization, although other tribes are a possibility. It contains stones etched with ancient petroglyphs that form a large plaza measuring some 130 feet by 160 feet, which could have been used for ball games or ceremonial rites, said Aida Belen Rivera, director of the Puerto Rican Historic Conservation office.

New find dating from 600 AD to 1500 AD.
