If this were an Indian casino that they were building, it wouldn't be held up for a minute, even if the shovel ran into an entire Indian graveyard loaded with artifacts.

Mobile home in Malibu? What’s next, Porky’s in Beverly Hills? Butch’s Tatoo & Piercing Den on Park Avenue? Go-Go Rama of Beacon Hill?

[Founding Father]

They go for over a million dollars. Sad thing is you can see them from the restaurant there-—spoils the view (the food there is no good either though).

Mobile home in Malibu?

And a very nice one it is.
A couple of years back The Los Angeles Times had a story about it.

Your statement is not only false but pure Bull Shiite. Where do you people come up with this endless nonsense? Look at what you wrote, think about it, do a little research, and see where and how many times what you said has actually happened. I would bet, none, never. Total Bias response.

This one was going for $2.2 milllion...

...But it is a double-wide.

Basically, the story is that the park has been there forever, and everyone has fixed up their trailers to the point where they're hardly recognizable as such anymore. But even at those prices, they are far and away the cheapest way to live next to the beach in the area.

"Kennewick Man II."

Probably not.

"Miller said her analysis was based on the age of the remains, first determined visually by “its brittleness, the morphology of the face’s ethnic characteristics and the wear on the teeth.”

This is what happens when smoking is banned in California - no one needs another ash tray.

I hope Malibu's "owner" has an alibi.

when she made the determination that the skull was a prehistoric artifact, that action took the matter out of the Coroner’s Office’s hands

How do they know the skull is isn't from the Clovis people, or other pre-"indian" peoples. The Native Americans who were here when Columbus, Cortez, and the Dutch and English colonists arrived were not the "First Americans". Those earlier folks were here duing the time of the Whooly Mamouths, Saber Tooth Tigers, and Dire Wolves. Must have been right sporting getting enough to eat, and not being eaten in turn.

[Plutarch]

Look at what you wrote, think about it, do a little research...

You are right, and I feel terrible. If an Indian tribe had a casino project from which they would make untold millions, they would gladly delay or even cancel the project should they come across an Indian gravesite.

I'll ask a friend of mine, who works in the legal department of an Indian casino what they would do and get back to you. No doubt he will be shocked, shocked that I would think even for one moment that the financial interests of the Tribe would take precedence over their boundless reverence for sacred remains.

Recall that the early disposition of the Kennewick Man skull was that it was of an early European Pilgrim. That was because of the unmistakeable shape of the skull...it was 'Caucasian like.' This (Malibu) skull was examined and declared to be Native American.

I know of one such case, in the state of Washington.

It took an archaeologist to stop the damage and get some protection for the site. (It was a tribal lodge though, not a casino.)

[Coyoteman]

How do they know the skull is isn't from the Clovis people, or other pre-"indian" peoples. The Native Americans who were here when Columbus, Cortez, and the Dutch and English colonists arrived were not the "First Americans".

They probably got most of the information from the age and diagnostic artifacts of the site. The age of a skull by itself is very difficult to estimate without radiocarbon dating unless the morphology is distinctly different (such as Kennewick Man).

Those earlier folks were here duing the time of the Whooly Mamouths, Saber Tooth Tigers, and Dire Wolves. Must have been right sporting getting enough to eat, and not being eaten in turn.

Actually, recent studies have suggested a more mixed, to even vegetal diet than had been thought. The megafauna was probably only an occasional treat.

And incidentally, this is the first time I have heard of a Native American skull referred to as a "prehistoric artifact" -- and I have been doing this for a lot of years, including a couple of decades examining bone finds for the local coroners.
