Marcelo Francisco Antunes Very ancient and not so ancient remains (bones and geology) do tells a lot to those skilled in the matter. The good thing is to know that we do have skilled people and true researchers no matter how many do not really trust or read them.
Bartley Collart I enjoyed the web cast. Last weekend, I brought an out-of-town guest by the physical Written In Bone exhibit. He really enjoyed the exhibit, especially the lab. The lab techs were awesome!
Joan Blinn Lynn I recently visited the Smithsonian with my family and we all loved the 'Written In Bone' exhibit. While all of the Forensic Files were compelling, I think that as a mother, I found the sad tale of the Leavy Neck boy to be the most touching. Whoever he was, whatever he did in life, he was somebody's son and he deserved ...better than what he got. Thank you, Erin, for sharing his story with the world.

Ana- The Forensic Anthropologist Hello everyone, this is the real life "Ana" and I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Erin and I am currently conducting my thesis research at the Smithsonian's NMNH. If you have any questions about the exhibit or the webcomic p
Charles Gluck The ASTD DC Metro chapter is conducting a podcast on this exhibit and the WebComic. On the panel will be the designers of the WebComic. I'll be facilitating the podcast. I'll post the link to the podcast after it has been produced, probably around the last week of June.
Mike Very cool!
Ryan Cullen
super cool!
...I was at your exhibit recently. It was AMAZING!!
George J Myers Jr I really enjoyed the story and the background. As an archaeology tech we often don't get to see the results or the background research and as you might imagine digging in human remains in almost all cultures is a "verboten" activity. I've worked in an "unmarked" Dutch Reformed impact, a Shaker one near Dayton, Ohio and... the "first Almshouse" cemetery, we hope, inside New York's "City Hall Park". I would say "highly recommended" for depth and clarity.

I'm a french student, in marine biology. my actual fellowship is about stable isotope in porbeagle shark muscle...as in Ana's story, it's amazing what you can learn with the stable isotopes
I hope we'll learn much with those atoms (and that my english isn't too poor :) )
Anne Gilbert I really liked this! I don't know much about colonial history, especially in the area described,and I learned a lot!
