That may have been your "source", but note: it ends with:

"Adapted from materials provided by Indiana University."

Your "source" is tertiary [reporting on a report of a report] at best. It
cites the press release I
cited:http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/11644.html(which you thanked
me
for) which was also cited in yesterday's Rogue Classicist.

If this were an exercise in a Research Methods class, it would receive an
D-

I have been here since ca. 1996.

[And I have been a professional anthropologist since 1971. The date of your
