diet. Having some of her “baby teeth” still in-
tact, Owsley was able to determine her approxi-
mate age.
He went on to describe the amount of sym-
bolism and ritual involved in the very elaborate
burial of the Horn Shelter pair.
Of the site, Owsley described it as a compli-
cated excavation, saying that the wonderful
records kept during the process added to the
“fabulous discovery.”
In conclusion, Owsley said that the field of
forensic archeology and DNA are changing
rapidly and that those in the field are coming
to realize that people got to the New World
much earlier than originally thought.
He spoke of the need to protect the “first-
hand evidence” of archeological sites and re-
cent legislation developing to help.
Beginning the second phase of the historic
event, the exhibit opening was held at the mu-
seum, open to project patrons and donors.
Numbering in the hundreds, those crowding
the rooms of the Bosque Memorial Museum
included exhibit designer and sculptor Amanda
Danning, Congressman Chet Edwards, and
Albert Redder.
The 80-plus year old Redder explained some
of the process of the excavation while guests
poured into the small museum.
In a brief program, Director Dr. George
Larson offered thanks to those involved with
the exhibit and its opening, including museum
Board of Trustees President Rodney Joy, vice
president LaVerne “Bernie” Dutton, and
Owsley.
“It takes so many people to do something like
this,” said Larson, “without whose help, this
could not have been done.”
Described by Joy as a “heavyweight” in the
field of archeology, Dutton expressed gratitude
to those involved, describing what it meant to
her to see the lecture hall at Baylor filled with
so many from Bosque County.
“The exhibit tells the unwritten story of those
that came before us,” said Owsley.
“The Horn Shelter is helping to rewrite the
whole field of paleo-studies,” he continued. “It
is an extremely important site.”
Concluding, he told the group that the won-
derful thing about the exhibit is that Bosque
County is able to display its own heritage and
history.
The public opening of the exhibit followed on
Saturday and is a permanent exhibit at the mu-
seum. Viewing is available during regular mu-
seum hours.
