Rendition During Books Mysterious Bones: The Story of Kennewick Man

When two young men who were sneaking into a boat race accidentally uncovered a skeleton along a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, in 1996, they had no idea of the impact their discovery would have. The bones were those of one of the oldest and most complete skeletons ever recovered in the U.S. and led to one of the most important archaeological controversies of modern times. Kennewick Man transformed long-held theories about the colonization of the Americas and sparked a nine-year battle pitting scientists against Native American tribes for control of the remains.

Judge About Books Mysterious Bones: The Story of Kennewick Man

For my daughter (age 10) and I, this book was a good introduction to an interesting topic. However, very little is known about The Ancient One. In fact, there are more unknowns than knowns. As a result, the book is heavy on detailed speculation--which tried both of our patiences. I would recommend this book for any young person with an interest in archaeology or anthropology. It is a fantastic overview of technical, legal, and even moral issues.



Chronicles the events which follow after skeletal remains of "Kennewick Man" are found. It turns out that the bones are over 9,000 years old. Very detailed and interesting information however it came across as academic. I don't think kids will be flocking to the library, it will need to be sold.

This is a well-meaning but problematic kid's book about the controversy over what should be done with a 9500 y.o. skeleton found in the state of Washington: anthropological research, or give it back to the Native peoples in the area for reburial?The information presented is accurate and detailed, and the illustrations are gorgeous and helpful. But the text reads a bit too much like an academic report - elementary school kids are going to have a tough time getting through some of the long pages

I think this is interesting.

I just love to read children's non-fiction. This one was a fascinating introduction to the discovery of and controversy surrounding Kennewick Man, a 9,500-year-old skeleton discovered in Washington State in 1996. I learned a lot here. It's an almost complete skeleton, a rarity amongst prehistoric finds. The controversy came about because the local Native American tribes believed he was their ancestor and wanted his remains repatriated and reburied. After long legal battles, scientists were

Interesting but I had some real issues with the layout of the book. Several times it referred to sidebars that were pages away and yet didn't give those page numbers. I also felt the flow of the text was interrupted by the sidebars.
