	NPS Archeology Program: Kennewick Man
		Following the physical investigation, the Kennewick remains' Metacarpal bone that had originally been submitted to the University of California at Davis (UCD) for DNA testing in 1996, was returned to UCD to complete the DNA analysis of this sample.
		In the course of obtaining additional radiocarbon (14C) analyses of the Kennewick skeleton during the fall of 1999, data reported by the laboratories undertaking the measurements suggest that there is significant variability in the range of protein (primarily collagen) preservation exhibited by different bones from the skeleton.
		In light of the evidence for a substantial range in protein preservation in the bones comprising the Kennewick skeleton, it was prudent to undertake appropriate biogeochemical and stable isotope analysis of micro-samples from a wide range of bone to determine which bones would be the best candidates for DNA analyses.

		The Kennewick skeleton was physically examined, measured, and recorded using current and standard scientific methods and techniques (McManamon 1999; Powell and Rose 1999).
