Question: With which living people did the skeletal remains excavated in 1996 by James Chatters have most in common?
Context: Kari Bruwelheide (born March 16, 1967) is an American archaeologist and anthropologist.  She is known for her work as a physical anthropologist, bioarchaeologist, forensic anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History.  Since joining the Smithsonian in 1992, she has assisted Douglas W. Owsley, Division Head of Physical Anthropology, identify skeletal remains and determine the cause of death in various high-profile forensic cases.  These cases have included studying the remains of three individuals discovered buried in the Chesapeake Bay area of St. Mary's City, Maryland, during a remote sensing survey at the foundation of the 17th-century Brick Chapel Catholic Church; examining and identifying the remains of victims of the siege on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas; examining the remains excavated in the historic Jamestown Colony; and assisting in the identification of American Civil War soldiers who perished aboard the "H. L. Hunley" Confederate submarine. James C. Chatters (born March 20, 1949) is an American forensic anthropologist, archaeologist, and paleontologist.  s of 2012 , he is the owner of forensics consulting firm, Applied Paleoscience; and serves as a Research Associate in the Office of Graduate Studies, Research, and Continuing Education at Central Washington University; Deputy Coroner of Benton County, Washington; and a consulting scientist on staff with Foster Wheeler Environmental Corporation of Bothell, Washington.  In 1996, Chatters was the first scientist to excavate and study the prehistoric (Paleo-Indian) skeletal remains, known as Kennewick Man, which were discovered on the banks of the Columbia River. On Your Knees Cave (49-PET-408) is an archaeological site located in southeastern Alaska (Prince of Wales Island).  Human remains were found at the site in 1996 that dated between 9,730 ±60 and 9,880±50 radiocarbon YBP (Years Before Present) or a calendrical date of 10,300 YBP.  In addition to human skeletal remains, stone tools and animal bones were discovered.  DNA analyses performed on the human skeletal remains document the presence of mitochondrial haplogroup D which occurs widely in the Americas.  Isotopic analysis indicated that the individual had a primarily marine based diet. Sankarjang (20°52’08“N; 84°59’19“E), Odisha, India is an archaeological site near Angul, a former cemetery and settlement with large, worked stones but no one knows what they were made for, although some people think they might have been part of a lithophone .  This site was test excavated by the State Archaeology Department of Odisha after a chance find of 20 long unfinished chipped and ground, lithic bars and axes of basalt, together with human skeletal remains and metallic artifacts, by a shepherd in 1971. Balangoda Man ("Homo sapiens balangodensis") refers to hominins from Sri Lanka's late Quaternary period.  The term was initially coined to refer to anatomically modern "Homo sapiens" from sites near Balangoda that were responsible for the island's Mesolithic 'Balangoda Culture'.  The earliest evidence of Balangoda Man from archaeological sequences at caves and other sites dates back to 38,000 BP, and from excavated skeletal remains to 30,000 BP, which is also the earliest reliably dated record of anatomically modern humans in South Asia.  Cultural remains discovered alongside the skeletal fragments include geometric microliths dating to 28,500 BP, which together with some sites in Africa is the earliest record of such stone tools. The Windover Archeological Site is an Early Archaic (6000 to 5000 BC) archaeological site found in Brevard County near Titusville, Florida, USA, on the central east coast of the state.  Windover is a muck pond where skeletal remains of 168 individuals were found buried in the peat at the bottom of the pond.  The skeletons were well preserved because of the characteristics of peat.  In addition, remarkably well-preserved brain tissue has been recovered from many skulls from the site.  DNA from the brain tissue has been sequenced.  The collection of human skeletal remains and artifacts recovered from Windover Pond represent among the largest finds of each type from the Archaic Period. Kennewick Man is the name generally given to the skeletal remains of a prehistoric Paleoamerican man found on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, United States, on July 28, 1996.  It is one of the most complete ancient skeletons ever found.  Radiocarbon tests on bone have shown it to date from 8.9k to 9k calibrated years before present.  In the early 2000s, genetic analysis did not have sufficient techniques to analyze such ancient DNA.  By 2013, however, techniques had improved and the ancient DNA (aDNA) was analyzed.  In June 2015 the team announced their conclusions, that Kennewick Man had most in common with Native Americans among living peoples, including those in the Columbia River region where he was found. An ossuary is a chest, box, building, well, or site made to serve as the final resting place of human skeletal remains.  They are frequently used where burial space is scarce.  A body is first buried in a temporary grave, then after some years the skeletal remains are removed and placed in an ossuary.  The greatly reduced space taken up by an ossuary means that it is possible to store the remains of many more people in a single tomb than if the original coffins were left as is. Osteoware is a free data recording software for human skeletal material that is managed through the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.  It is used by biological anthropologists to, in a standardized and consistent way, document data relevant to research and forensic applications of human skeletal remains.  It has influenced other skeletal recording software, and has been successfully used at the Smithsonian for collecting data relevant to biological anthropology.  Osteoware is the only free, individual-use software for the collection of data on skeletal material in anthropology. The following is a list of living centenarians (living people who have attained the age of at least 100 years) known for reasons other than their longevity.  For more lists of centenarians, see lists of centenarians.  For living people known for their longevity and not necessarily for other reasons, see List of oldest living people.
Answer: Native Americans
