Perhaps the most evocative mystery that remains is the identity of the boy himself. His is the only known Clovis grave.

Yet they left them in the ground with a child.

We may never know who the Anzick child was, but scientists and local US tribes have agreed to lay him back to rest (see “Tribal healing: Anzick child genome changed my life“). He will be reburied sometime in the next few months.
