I'm working on going thru the last 2 links. But so far they have been pretty interesting & it seems that the Oregon & Washington laws are the same, or fairly close. So I'd guess it's safe to assume that all states have the same or similar such laws as what the first 2 provide? the "trackback" portion of the 3rd link doesn't have any workable links w/the "put that in your peace pipe & smoke it" or Read more links :( I'm looking at the 3rd link now......also interesting but not into it enough to say much.

Thank you Dan for the 2 messages of links. I remember a bit about the Kennewick man, so that'll be interesting reading.
