1st p/b ed. Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white plates & drawings, minor edgewear. 326 pp. The 1996 discovery, near Kennewick, Washington, of a 9,000-year-old Caucasoid skeleton brought more to the surface than bones. Archaeologist David Hurst Thomas traces the ancient roots of the Kennewick Man controversy and lawsuit. This is the story behind the battle for Native American (Indigenous) identity, in particular regarding a law stating that the bones belonged to them. He records the conflicts between archaeologists and indigenous Americans - and shows how the two groups can better work together on archeological scientific research projects in the future.
