Abstract:

Brian Billman, assistant professor of anthropology, stumbled upon a twelfth century Anasazi crime scene in the Mesa Verde floodplain of southwest Colorado. Billman and a team of archaeologists discovered human bones of an entire community killed by cannibals. They suspect the community was raided over territorial conflict.
