1. A great discovery

But, like so many, it was obviously meant to be a final resting place. It reminds me of a Mono tribe friend telling me, when I lived in Calif, that he had found some tools like grinding stones, knives, and so forth by a creek when he was a kid. He brought some home to show his father. Dad immediately insisted that he take them back where he found them and rebury, as they did not belong to him. They belonged to the spirits of the people who left them.

I often wonder what people 1,000 years in the future, (if there's anything left,) will think when they dig up our graveyards.
