Indian Tomb From 1100 AD Found In West Texas
A well preserved skeleton from about 1100 A D was found in Paln Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle. Archaeologists call the burial vault an outstanding discovery of extreme importance. The site lies on a rugged cliff side near rattlesnakes. Jim Sorenson of Six Gun City notified authorities after uncovering the vault. The skeleton wore a breastplate with a clam shell and clink knife remains suggest a deer hunt. The man is believed to be a chief or counselor of a migrating tribe, about 25 years old with a flawless dentition. Weaving remnants in the crypt include hair, cotton, and wool.
