Giants of Maryland Unearthed Skeletons Probed by Science
New excavations along the Choptank River in Maryland uncover eight gigantic prehistoric Indian skeletons, possibly 1,000 years old, including women and children. Excavators report camp remains with oyster shell heaps and burned earth, noting charred bones in women and children while men show little fire exposure. Captain John Smith’s old tale of eight-foot Indians gains new plausibility as artifacts are prepared for fall exhibition.
