Because I wanted to be an archeologist when I was ten:

Here are links to the recent discovery of a 1,400 year old Anglo Saxon king (the blue bowl is gorgeous) and to the museum page.

And Lots of information about the Kennewick Man (roughly 9,000-10,000 years old):

• The National Park Service Site.
  
• The Tri-City Herald's Kennewick Man Center.
  
• An article by the first anthropologist to review the remains.
  
• And an article mentioning th erecent court victory for the scientists who want to study the remains: Scientific American: Scientists Win Latest Ruling in Kennewick Man Case.
  

I've been following the Kennewick Man story for a few years. As much as I support tribal rights, I honestly believe that the court got this one right.

Fascinating stuff.
