We went to the National Museum of Natural History. They had a special exhibit on forensic anthropology. The bones were from the Jamestown settlement in VA and the St. Mary's City settlement in MD. The title of the exhibit is:
Written in Bone: Forensic Files of the 17th-Century Chesapeake

February 7, 2009 - February 6, 2011.

I didn't intend to take Emily into this exhibit (she is afraid of skeletons), but the floor plan of the museum is, uh, interesting. Perhaps convoluted is a better word. So we wound up in there and Emily asked a lot of questions. So I read her many of the titles, etc.

She's still a little nervous about the exhibit. She is especially worried about the boy who died of an infected broken tooth. I reassured her that that was a broken adult tooth, not the routine loss of a baby tooth.
