Owsley involved himself in a debate over claims of ownership over which remains?

The Spirit Cave Mummy
The Kennewick Man
The Chesapeake Bay Skeleton
The Columbia Heights Bones

Answer

The Kennewick Man is the name given to the skeletal remains of a Paleoamerican man discovered in Washington in 1996. Owsley was one of the scientists who studied the remains, and he became involved in a debate over claims of ownership over the remains. Some Native American tribes claimed that the remains were their ancestors, and they wanted to be allowed to bury them.
