"Human remains at the site—those found in 1919 and those
found since—'have been analyzed and don't fit the pattern
of cannibalism...at least for food.'"

That's some interesting history!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Brian, they only ate people.
DeleteIt is beautiful but there is, I find, a great melancholy in this landscape
ReplyDeleteCould be all the people eating, Kwarkito.
DeleteThat tree is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI look at it and see nuclear event, DS (;
DeleteA slice of history. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
It's tucked away next to one of my favorite small towns, Sandee. I don't know what that stockade was for but I'm thinking...stock.
DeleteI've only recently become interested in learning more about the various ancient peoples who lived on our continent. Seems to me that people eat others when there are no food sources. The taste of enemies would be disgusting, so I think. Cooking enemies because they couldn't stand them makes more sense.
ReplyDeleteHa, yes, maybe we should ask Jane Austin, cannibal. It strikes me as a religious thing. They were called, "The Mississippians" and came from Mexico so they could have brought some Aztec culture with them but I don't know much more about it. The cooking enemies, yes, but the eating them? Maybe they fed them to the livestock which would make for some pigs with dangerous tastes.
DeleteThanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteHopefully no cannibalistic people are around now!
ReplyDeleteI won't mention the names Jeffrey Dahmer or Ed Gein.
