My research will focus on the vertebrae and cranium. This individual appears to have what is called a cranial shift in addition to a basioccipital cleft. Also, his vertebral canal looks unusually small, which may have caused back pain in his lifetime. I am still in the process of reviewing literature to learn more about these conditions and determine whether they apply to Mr. Fortune.
All the adventures you're reading about on this blog sound great, but Sleeping Giant is still pretty awesome too. :)
Exploring the world can happen across space (traveling to another geographical location) or across time (uncovering the past of an enslaved man). The beauty of anthropology is the discipline considers these equally important ways to understand the world and our place in it.
