Fossis,
I had a chance to review some of your postings/ pics. Very nice. I was reading your story about the skeleton being found and thought you might like to know that the excavation site shown above known as the Heerwald site occurred when they were bringing a new water line in west of Clinton. Evidently the ditching crew dug into two skeletons. As I recall, one actually had a point embedded in it. Nonetheless, the project hit a screeching halt and OU came out to dig. The photo reportedly represents only 5% of the existing archeology that exists under all of that red dirt, but it was all they dug. The water line made a wide detour, and all of us arm chair archys have another place to visit after harvest and good rains. The area still continues to show me new lithics with each good rain, and it remains a nice ace in the hole. Enjoyed looking at your finds.
PS, I made the acquaintance of a gentleman who has collected four skulls from the banks of the South Canadian. As I understand it, these were picked up 30+ years ago north and west of Cheyenne. Of course, nowadays, I think most all of us subscribe closely to The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
