Who was the 'Ancient One'? The Strange Story of Kennewick Man  ~ with CARLTON GOVER

Date: 25/07/2020

SPECIAL EPISODE! 

In 1996 a skull and skeleton were stumbled upon near the banks of the Columbia River in Washington State. What followed were years of speculation, assumptions, legal battles and contention. 

The remains of the 9000-year-old Paleoamerican dubbed 'Kennewick Man' consumed the world of archaeology and Native American repatriation rights for years as both parties claimed the remains.

So who was the Kennewick Man really? Was 'the ancient one' the ancestor the Native Americans claimed that he could only be? Or was he a stranger from a far off land, upsetting centuries of oral tradition?

Archaeologist CARLTON GOVER has Native American heritage and is also a scientist - and looks at this fascinating case from both sides, revealing some surprising facts in a fully-illustrated interview.
