Editing Kennewick Man (section)

===Injuries===
Chatters found a {{convert|79|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} stone projectile lodged in his [[Ilium (bone)|ilium]] (part of the pelvic bone). There was new bone growing around it indicating a painful but old wound.{{sfnp|Chatters|2000}} Chatters made a CT scan which determined the projectile was made from a siliceous gray stone with igneous (volcanic) origins.{{sfnp|Chatters|2000}} The projectile, leaf-shaped, long, and broad, with serrated edges, fit the description of a [[Cascade point]], characteristic of the [[Cascade phase]] from 12,000 to 7,500 years BP.{{sfnp|Chatters|2000}}

Forensic anthropologist Douglas Owsley, who later led the scientific team that examined Kennewick Man's skeleton in 2005, discovered that the bones in Kennewick Man's arms were bent. Owsley theorized that this was the result of powerful muscles built up over the course of a lifetime of hunting and spearfishing.{{sfnp|Chatters|2014}} Kennewick Man was found to be right-handed, as the bones of the right arm are noticeably larger than the left.

Owsley also found that Kennewick Man had arthritis in his right elbow, both of his knees, and several vertebrae but not severe enough to be crippling. Kennewick Man had suffered some trauma in his lifetime, which was evident by a fractured rib that had healed, a depression fracture on his forehead, and a similar indentation on the left side of the head, and a spear jab that healed.{{sfnp|Cook|2014}}
