Day's Knob Site
(33GU218) |
|
Two hairs twisted
together and bound with artificially colored plant fibers.
(Artificially dyed fibers identified by Dr. Scott Moody, professor
of forensic biology at Ohio University.)
|
| One of the hairs at 100X
magnification, showing the characteristically club-shaped human
hair root. |
| The hair at 400X, showing the
characteristic human (imbricate) scale pattern. |
|
The other hair in the artifact,
also showing the
human scale pattern.
|
| Unfortunately, in the hairs from this site
that have been tested so far, no
mitochondrial DNA has survived . |
|
The bear-like
sandstone figure on which the hair/fiber artifact appeared
embedded in the clay adhering to the rock. Light blue and white fibers remain in the
clay.
