One of the things that I like so much about the AP here in Jrsm is that senior journalists usually let us check out the article for mistakes like this before it goes out. Here it's obvious someone forgot to ask scholars before it went out and now that it's in the public record, the damage is done. I have a feeling that the misinformation may have come from some gov't PR folks as no scholar dealing with the topic would have permitted such a thing.Joe Zias<<Would be interesting to know what the sources of this misinforming AP article are and how it made its way into such a respected newspaper as Haaretz...Enjoy Daniel > http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/979555.html Joe Zias www.joezias.com Anthropology/Paleopathology Science and Antiquity Group - Jerusalem Jerusalem, Israel
