Authorities were notified and
further digging uncovered the

detective on the scene said the
positioning of the bodies and
some items found with them led
him to believe that the bodies
were placed there on purpose
"rather than discarded as might be
done after a murder."
Historians and archaeologists
were called in and the site was
confumed as a Navajo Indian

professor of anthropology and
descendent of the Navajo.
Uhgamokalahee, whose name
translates to "he who sits long in
the unfragrant teepee," dated the
bones back to the 1400 s.
Uhgamokalahee said, "The
tribe may have passed through
the area during a winter storm and
was stranded, which most likely
claimed the lives of these
people•"
He continued that the bones
should be removed and
transported to a proper resting
place. On Thursday, April 1,
