'They found a large sandstone slab, weighing four tons, in 2008 but had to wait a year for it to be lifted.

Last week, a crane was brought in and the 4,000 year old grave was revealed. '

Just curious. But if those remains prove to be related to one of our US Indian tribes could they start building casinos there?

They had to wait a year for a crane. If they had gotten hurt they would have had to wait a year for a doctor.

neat find.

Did they use a crane 4000 years ago to install the slab?

Along with the grave goods, carvings were also found on the underside of the slab.

Poor sot, buried alive.
