Hey George.....would sure like to hear about that and/or
any particular circumstance that stands in your memory.
Where, who, etc.  Real interesting circumstance I would
think.

I would suppose that previous to current DNA type 
advances that there wasn't much one could do with a
carcass, for the time period you may be speaking of.

Actually Sean-Thomas and John Lahr were also up in 
Alaska.  Makes me wonder if they have storys also...
whether being part of a find or hearing it from others?

Thanks, Meredith Lamb

P.S.  I suppose that the British Columbia ice man story
will eventually come out, that was also found recently.
He was found entombed in a glacier, and maybe up to
some 10 thousand years old.  Think the specimen is in
a Vancouver college at the moment.  Personally, the only
thing age doubtful about him was the hat.  The hat looked like it had fine weaving...like it was much more recent.  Spear, knif
e, buckskin clothing, alot of intact flesh.
Reported on Aug 25th 1999.  Think CNN web news has the
most comprehensive of any, at the moment.
