The real question here is what did the fossil identify as? Cause i know we are not about to grossly misgender the fossil

I mean it's perfectly believable that they discovered an indian skull, they're fricking everywhere if you dig deep enough. I have seen estimates that up to 100+ million indians inhabited the continental US over the last 13,000+ years. I am pretty obsessed with hunting for indian artifacts and would never intentionally disturb a burial (calm down feds) but some of these rules are absurd. It only applies to us and not to them, as I have seen easily a dozen indian sites bulldozed without batting an eye...as long as there is money to be made.

Is this a spin off of the thread I started earlier today?

Yep, indigenous folks here were piling bodies in large mounds of dirt in 1500 B.C. The Egyptian pyramids were 1,000 years old by this time.

So there was actually evidence in the find of her penis having been chopped off? Or maybe they found swimming medals?

the results revealed that the bone dates back between 1634-1504 BC, making it approximately 3,500 years old.

How'd they get such a weirdly specific range?


Simple…Carbon-14 radioisotope dating.

When you die you stop exchanging Carbon molecules with nature, so as your bones age and turn into fossils there is less and less Carbon-14 isotopes in what is left of you. The decay is predictable since the half-life of isotope of Carbon-14 is nearly 5,700 years. This method can accurately date objects in the last 50,000 years.

For longer dating scientists will use Potassium and Argon dating methods. And for volcanic rocks, they can date those using uranium-238 which turns to lead in its half life.

"The decedent was identified as a female aged between 25-35 years old, but her origin remained unknown. DNA analysis in 2009 was unsuccessful in developing a full profile, and the case remained unsolved until recently."

How do we know it was a female? It is possible they misgendered the person in order to have the first female skull in Louisiana.

Was it a skull identifying as female? Is it a paleo-trans? Skullduggery gender ID.
