Archeologists have discovered a pre-historic crematory on the Georgia coast. The pit on Ossabaw Island was used by American Indians more than a 1,000 years ago to cremate their dead. Only a few small bones were found, leading archaeologists to believe a body was burned and most of the remaining skeleton was buried elsewhere. Dave Crass, Georgia's state archaeologist, said it's unusual to find evidence of Indian cremations in the Southeast. Most prehistoric Indians buried their dead in shallow graves.
