Twigg

Yes, that is very nice work by Ms. Twigg - a believe I mentioned it in the footnotes in my book, but I'll have to go back and check.
EP, yes you did mention her in your book. I noticed your comments last night as I was going through a second read.
Of course, you probably want to also run DNA tests on Ocanachee and Yuchi remains, and other Savanah River peoples' remains - don't be surprised when the North African markers show up.
It is feasible - we just need to find the proof.
Again, let me emphasize that after the tests are run, remains should be properly re-interred by those assigned this task by the successor peoples, in my opinion.
Agreed. At the minimum, it is a matter of respect.

Second read, eh? I hope you are enjoying "Man and Impact in the Americas" and/or finding it of use.
