Ancient Civilization Found Near Bogota in Colombia
Dr R A Stirton of the University of California reports skeletons from two early human cultures unearthed by laborers in a sand deposit near Bogota.

Artifacts include ornaments and trinkets, with accompanying mammal remains from species not found in present Colombia. The report notes broader fossil collection in nearby areas and mentions ongoing divorce cases in some Chi divorces due to excessive loquacity.
