This illustration depicts Kennewick Man 8,400 years ago. He was about 5 feet 9 inches tall and had a robust muscular build. At the time of his death, he was between 30 and 50 years old and had survived a projectile point wound in his right hip that probably made walking difficult. In the 1960s and 1970s, other human remains dating to 10,000 years ago were found just north of Kennewick, along with knives, spear blades, drills, spear-thrower parts and other tools, as well as shell jewelry. The area of Eastern Washington where Kennewick Man lived was cooler and wetter 8,400 years ago than it is today, and the land was covered with grasslands and scattered pine forests. Ancient large bison, elk, deer, fish, freshwater shellfish and plants provided important sources of food. Illustration by Joyce Bergen.

In fiscal 1998, the UW dental school was first in the nation in the amount of funding, more than $7 million, received from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and other federal sources. Along with the keynote address, the day included presentations by several leading UW researchers, a poster session, and a student research competition. Photo by Gavin Sisk
