Kennewick Man Virual Interpretive CenterKennewick Man Virual Interpretive Center

Recasting the Past ran in the Tri-City Herald from Dec. 26-28, 1999.

Day One:

Kennewick Man has spawned intense public interest and inflamed tensions in American archaeology. But how he and other early peoples got to the New World is still anybody's guess.

Day Two:

While Kennewick Man captures the headlines, two of the nation's prime archaeological sites - one near Wenatchee, the other in the Palouse - are buried. But perhaps only for a few more years.

Day Three:

Shadowed by criticism and buoyed by fame, Richland's Jim Chatters rides a roller coaster driven by the discovery of Kennewick Man. And Colorado scientist Tom Stafford tries to make it easier to learn about ancient remains through radiocarbon dating.
