Teachings From Long Ago Person Found: Highlights from the Kwädąy Dän Ts’ìnchį Project Key discoveries and points of context from the individual chapters of the volume that will be published during 2012. The book begins by first exploring the circumstances of the initial find and setting the natural stage. The project’s social context is then considered. We learn about the original people of the discovery area, their current and past life-ways, and relationships with their neighbours. Responsibilities and ceremonies associated with this find of ancient human remains are outlined. The next part of the book explores the life of the “Long Ago Person Found”. Through studies of his remains, investigations seek the reasons that the Kwädąy Dän Ts’ìnchį individual may have traveled to the glacier and why he perished there. The next section of the book reports on the belongings and artifacts recovered at the site, which teach us a great deal about life in the not so distant past.
