I thought it was fascinating, and would probably not have had any other oportunity to see just how well preserved it was. There were several points that were not brought out in the story: There were three graves, but only two well-preserved bodies. Did one of the bodies decay more than the others? if so why? Did the bodies undergo any sort of mummification, or were they preserved just because they were frozen? -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
