b'This week we have 3 news stories. First we head over to Puerto Rico where new analysis of human remains from a 4,000 year old site is helping redefine what we know about the early inhabitants of the island. Then we look at a 39,600 year old bone from Spain that may be a leather punch board. And finally, the Dry Tortugas National Park has found a lost underwater cemetery off the coast of Florida.\\n\\nLinks\\n\\n * Oldest human remains from Puerto Rico contradict idea of simple island nomads [https://www.science.org/content/article/oldest-human-remains-puerto-rico-contradict-idea-simple-island-nomads]\\n * Reconsidering the lives of the earliest Puerto Ricans: Mortuary Archaeology and bioarchaeology of the Ortiz site [https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0284291]\\n * This 39,600-Year-Old Bone May Have Been Used by Prehistoric Tailors [https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-39600-year-old-bone-may-have-been-used-by-prehistoric-tailors-180982033/]\\n * A 39,600-year-old leather punch board from Canyars, Gav\\xe0, Spain [https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adg0834#F2]\\n * A grave under the ocean?
