Jan. 25th, 2008 09:44 amExcerpt from an archeology news site:
Three years ago, 128 sets of human remains were discovered in the path of a new subway line in Los Angeles. Some of the bones represent so-called Chinese sojourners, men who immigrated to California in the late nineteenth century. Many Chinese Americans living in the area today want the bones to be studied and samples taken for future DNA analysis. But a citizens’ committee advising the MTA wants the bones reburied in a local cemetery.
