Robert,
There's a recent penchant to re-introduce old findings as Headline News. I've been seeing it in every quarter. The latest, and most bizarre (albeit Off-Subject), was last week's claim of finding a female teenaged warrior grave in the Altai. From a reconstruction, she was the ugliest young woman ever born. Two days later, a retraction appeared, claiming an error. The grave belonged to a young male. Perhaps "more better;" but even as a young man, he was one ugly dude.
