Kennewick Man

We watched a really cool video in class today (periods 1, 2, and 3 only). It featured the discovery of the 'Kennewick Man' who has been dated at nearly 9,000 years old. It has changed the viewpoint of many in terms of immigration/migration to the United States. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this and we had a really good discussion. I will post the focus question under a seperate post later today in an attempt to help extend that conversation.


Important Topics Discussed: Archaeology, Anthropolicy, Carbon 14 Dating, Migration, and Tradition.


Have a great rest of the day!
