Who is âThe Ancient One,â also known as âKennewick Manâ? On July 28, 1996, two men at Columbia Park in Kennewick, Washington, accidentally found part of a human skull on the bottom of the Columbia River, about ten feet from shore. Later searches revealed a nearly complete, ancient skeleton, now known as âThe Ancient Oneâ or âKennewick Man.â.
Claims for the Remains. Dr. Robson Bonnichsen. Director, Center for the Study of the First Americans and Professor of Anthropology, Oregon State University. The significance of the Kennewick Man discovery should be understood in light of scientific developments occurring in the field of First Americans studies.
