They attempt to draw questionbable conclusions with any data found.

I have issues with archeologists/anthropologists our religion is only myth and legend, not respected and our dead are dug up in the name science.

How do you know whose dead are being dug up? Or that "your" people were there in days long gone?

There aren't any American Indian/Native American skeletons in North America that are older than 6,000 years old, James C. Chatters, Ancient Encounters. Previous to that, they are the Kennewick Man variety, Ainu/Jomon.

The evidence is substantial and the conclusions are hardly based on only one or two finds. If you want a more generic treatment on the subject of prehistoric behavior that doesn't single any one people out, take a look at Lawrence Keeley's War Before Civilization. In short, the evidence of prehistoric warfare, cannibalism, and other nastiness is quite common but it often gets rejected by researchers who prefer the "peaceful savage" myth.

With the advent of "Common Era" dating, I think we have seen all our religions fade into myth in their eyes. They didn't have any problem hacking open the lead-lined coffin of one of my well-preserved ancestors and displaying her remains on TV, either, making it evident that she was in fact, a she in the process.

There is a point where respect for the dead and the religion of the people who are buried there should kick in and deem at least a sense of decency about things, but the disrespect is not confined to any one group of people's ancestors, whether their religion be one of the Native Religions or Christian or otherwise.
