Dec 19  The Natchez Man

Date: 19/12/2016

Mary Lou Ridinger presents today's Natchez History Minute about  a fragment of a pelvis discovered by archaeologist Montroville Dickeson in a bayou cut through the bluffs at Natchez. The fragment was found along with mastodon and mylodon bones, leading many to believe it might represent early Paleo-Indians in North American. The fragment came to be known as the Natchez Man and in 1990, radio-isotope analysis concluded the date and origin of the bone.
