> Evidence shows cannibalism by ancient Indians > By JOSEPH B. VERRENGIA, Associated Press > (September 6, 2000 2:20 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com ><http://www.nandotimes.com> ) - Piles of human bones burned and boiled, >smashed and scraped. Cooking pots smeared with blood. A few years ago, >anthropologists in the American Southwest found the grisly remains of what >appeared to be an ancient cannibal feast, but they lacked the biological >proof - until now. > Laboratory tests on some of the artifacts, including a piece of >human excrement, have revealed traces of a human protein that scientists say >is the first direct evidence of cannibalism among the Anasazi, whose empire >stretched into present-day Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. > "This proves they put the meat in their mouths," said Richard >Marlar, a molecular biologist at the University of Colorado Health Sciences >Center in Denver who developed the biochemical tests to detect the protein. >"If you didn't eat human beings, this protein would not show up." > The excavation site, consisting of three collapsed pit dwellings >nicknamed Cowboy Wash near Dolores, Colo., was occupied about 1150 A.D. It >was abandoned after seven people were butchered there. > The findings were published in Thursday's issue of the journal >Nature. > ------------------------------------ > > Note how the cannibals are not called Amerindians or Native Indians >.... > ________________________________________________________________ <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
