Facial reconstruction of a 6,000-year-old woman from France. Her remains were discovered in one of the site’s famous shell middens. The acidic soil of the region should have destroyed the bones, yet the oyster and clam deposits preserved them remarkably well, leaving us with some of the best-preserved Mesolithic skeletons in Europe.

Southeast Alaska Tribes are fighting hard to p
