Whose Bones?
After careful digging, Kristin’s team has unearthed a major discovery. To help with the identification and investigation, she calls Lacy, the computer scientist.
You help Lacy decide how to store the information associated with the find (including the slew of photographs, xrays, audio notes, and other multimedia data) in ways that Kristin and others can use it to hypothesize about the bones and their place in history (or prehistory).
