WARM SPRINGS, MONTANA—A jawbone, ribs, and other bone fragments thought to be 2,000 years old were discovered by a camper on the side of a road near Warm Springs, Montana. The bones and part of a bow that had been covered by a pile of rocks and were eventually recovered by police. Once it was determined that the bones were not modern, they were handed over to Stan Wilmoth, state archaeologist with the Montana Historical Society. The authorities are examining the burial site to determine if the remains were found on state or federal land. If they were on state land, the bones will be handled by the Montana Burial Preservation Board. If the site was on federal land, the bones will go to the Deer Lodge National Forest’s archaeologist. “We’re just kind of in a holding pattern right now,” Wilmoth told The Montana Standard.
