Chatters (born March 20, 1949) is an American forensic anthropologist, archaeologist, and paleontologist.  s of 2012 , he is the owner of forensics consulting firm, Applied Paleoscience; and serves as a Research Associate in the Office of Graduate Studies, Research, and Continuing Education at Central Washington University; Deputy Coroner of Benton County, Washington; and a consulting scientist on staff with Foster Wheeler Environmental Corporation of Bothell, Washington.  In 1996, Chatters was the first scientist to excavate and study the prehistoric (Paleo-Indian) skeletal remains, known as Kennewick Man, which were discovered on the banks of the Columbia River. [PAR] [TLE] Kennewick Man [SEP] Kennewick Man is the name generally given to the skeletal remains of a prehistoric Paleoamerican man found on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, United States, on July 28, 1996.  It is one of the most complete ancient skeletons ever found.  Radiocarbon tests on bone have shown it to date from 8.9k to 9k calibrated years before present.  In the early 2000s, genetic analysis did not have sufficient techniques to analyze such ancient DNA.  By 2013, however, techniques had improved and the ancient DNA (aDNA) was analyzed.  In June 2015 the team announced their conclusions, that Kennewick Man had most in common with Native Americans among living peoples, including those in the Columbia River region where he was found.
