Episode Details

This week we have 3 news stories. First we head over to Puerto Rico where new analysis of human remains from a 4,000 year old site is helping redefine what we know about the early inhabitants of the island. Then we look at a 39,600 year old bone from Spain that may be a leather punch board. And finally, the Dry Tortugas National Park has found a lost underwater cemetery off the coast of Florida.
