Judge clears way for Kennewick Man tests
THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2003
A federal judge in Oregon has cleared the way for scientists to study the remains of a 9,000-year-old Native man.
U.S. Magistrate John Jelderks denied a motion to delay tests, which he said are permissible because Kennewick Man cannot be linked to present day tribes. Four Pacific Northwest tribes had asked for a stay pending their appeal to the 9th Circuit.
The tribes oppose tests and say Kennewick Man is their ancestor.
