On 28 July 1996, another dramatic find was made in the state of Washington in the north western United States: on that day a well-preserved skeleton was found in the Columbia River in Kennewick. This skeleton has become known as Kennewick Man as a result. The nearly intact skeletal remains, found with a stone arrowhead lodged in the pelvic bone, are so obviously White, that forensic anthropologists and local police first thought them to be those of a 19th Century White male, about 45 years old, who was killed by an arrow.
Radiocarbon dating of a finger bone, however, showed it to have great age - at least 9000 years old, putting the individual on the North American continent around the year 7200 BC. Like the Spirit Cave Mummy, Kennewick Man's White racial traits are the cause of much controversy
