How do you distinguish races, by looking at skulls?

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

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."

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.
