Old bones!

Remember the bones I told you about in my Halloween post*? Well, it turns out they might be a little more significant than we first thought. Keep in mind this is all preliminary - it may take two years or more to get a full forensic report - but, it's possible that the bones date from somewhere around 100-200 A.D.!!

Kind of blows my mind.


* I don't think the link to the newspaper article in the Halloween post is still active. Sorry. Hopefully you linked to it when I originally posted it or can figure out from the comments what it said.

Human Bones!!

Did I get your attention with the scary title for my Halloween entry? Well, sorry....it's not really a scary entry, but it does contain human bones!


We're part owners of some farmland in the Arkansas Delta. Earlier this month some bones were uncovered in one of the fields following some leveling work. An article from a newspaper in that area stated the operator of a land plane made the discovery. In truth, it was someone trespassing on our property (looking for arrowheads) that found them.
