When he is not
studying ancient skeletons, Doug Owsley is
enlisted by the State
Department and the FBI to
identify remains. He has worked on some of the most
notorious tragedies in recent
history - Bosnia, Waco, 9/11 and Jeffrey Dahmer's victims among them. When an anthropologist in Kennewick, Washington, calls Owsley to help study a 10,000 year old caucasoid skeleton, he gets caught in a battle against the Justice Dept and Indian tribes who claim the skeleton is Native American and should be buried and not analysed. Owsley, backed by scientists worldwide, filed suit against the US government and is now at the forefront of a landmark case - currently pending a ruling in the US District Court - that may alter repatriation laws and have a significant impact on the classic views of Native Americans, migration patters, and anthropology, as well as our understanding of prehistory..
