Coroner: Remains found in state park are hundreds of years old

The Associated Press

BELLEFONTE, Pa. - Authorities say the skeletal remains found recently at a state park in Centre County are hundreds of years old.

The remains were found three weeks ago at Bald Eagle State Park and sent to an anthropologist for examination.

County Coroner Scott Sayers said Wednesday the anthropologist concluded there were two separate sets of bones discovered very close together. He says tests suggests one set of remains may have been that of a prehistoric American Indian juvenile buried between 100 and 700 years ago.

The other set of bones were than of an adult, and evidence also suggests a prehistoric burial. Authorities say both sets of remains were likely reburied in the location they were found.

How can they be prehistoric if they were buried only 100-700 years ago?

I live in Howard and have seen many metal detectorists sweeping the lake bed (they drain it a bit in the winter).

These people were "arrow head hunting", but when the press reprinted the story, they said they were looking for "fishing lures".

Look at the posts about the legal issues of MDing in state parks, but even removing fishing lures would be illegal correct?

Is this the amount of enforcement we in PA should expect regarding poking around in State Forests and Game Lands? Anyone have any experiences with the LAW around PA State Forests and Parks?
