Decatur, Alabama (AP)
Police said a forensic anthropologist will help determine the origin of human remains found in mud flats along the Tennessee River that could be related to a nearby American Indian burial ground.
Tom Wright of Decatur said he found the bones Nov. 19 while walking with his dog along the north bank of the river about 600 yards west of the burial ground.
Wright said several feet of water normally cover the area but drought conditions have lowered the river.
