Last week, scientists added another bit of bone to the skeleton of Kennewick Man, the oldest, most complete—and most disputed—ancient human from the Pacific Northwest. A partial rib of the 9300-year-old skeleton was found when independent scientists, Native Americans, and the Army Corps of Engineers cooperated in a limited study of the Columbia River beach where the other remains were recovered. But the chip of rib, like everything else connected to this ancient American, is a bone of contention. With the rest of his skeleton, it has been locked away in a vault, pending the outcome of a suit filed by a group of scientists against the corps for the right to study the remains (Science, 11 July 1997, p. 173).
