By Deborah Mathews
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
CLIFTON — A much antici-
pated event, the formal unveil-
ing of Bosque Memorial
Museum’s Horn Shel-
ter exhibit was held on
Friday, Oct. 6. Hun-
dreds poured into the
museum to get a look at
SAM and his young
companion as depicted in their
burial state, more than 11,000
years ago.
Beginning the three days of
activities was a lecture by Dr.
Douglas Owsley, division head

ten story of those that
came before us.’
— Dr. Douglas Owsley
for Physical Anthropology at
the National Museum of His-
tory, Smithsonian Institution, in
Washington, D.C., held at
Baylor University’s Sgience
Building.
In the lecture, jointly
sponsored b> Bosque
Memorial Museum,
Baylor Anthropology
Department, and the
Central Texas Archeo-
logical Society, Owsley
introduced* SAM — Son of
America as he is called by
sculptor Amanda Danning — to
the crowd.
Located on the western bank
of the Brazos River approxi-
mately seven miles down-
stream from the Whitney Dam,
the shelter is a 150-foot-long
rock overhang. The discovery
of the Horn Shelter, made by lay
archeologist Frank Watt and
Albert Redder, is contributing
directly to the current aca-
demic discussion of the origin
of mar. In the Americas.
The Horn Shelter is one of
the oldest known Paleo-Ameri-
can burial sites in Central
Texas, one of only three in the
United States with burial
goods.
Emphasizing the signifi-
cance of the Horn Shelter,
Owsley introduced several
other prominent sites in the
United States, including
Kennewick man in Washington
and Spirit Cave man in Nevada,

Owsley explained that at the
time of his death, SAM had six
abscessing teeth, and a heel
fracture. Most interesting, he
said, was the strength of SAM,
explaining that his bones
clearly showed the degree with
which he worked with his
hands.
The juvenile, which Owsley
said was an 11-year-old female,
had teeth showing a rapid rate
of wear, indicating a course
