In 1996, the skeletal remains of a prehistoric man were found on the bank of the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington. An archaeologist determined that the man — referred to as “Kennewick Man” — had lived 9,200 years ago and died of a projectile wound to the head.
These photos from the National Park Service show close-up images of some of Kennewick Man’s bones.
