Skeleton, in the ointment

Article Abstract:

The discovery of a skeleton, the Kennewick man, in Washington state, US, has led to a number of court cases over who should be allowed to keep the bones. Native Americans have the right under the law to bury the bones of their people yet some scientists contend the skeleton is of European descent. The skelton is around 9300-9600 years old.
