"We find amazing stuff every time we go to the Channel Islands, and this may be the most amazing find of all." This according to archaeologist Jon M. Erlandson of the University of Oregon, who should know, as he's been exploring the area for more than 30 years. He's speaking of a cave recently discovered by Navy archaeologist Steve Schwartz ~ a cave Schwartz is "90 percent sure" was home to the Lone Woman of San Nicolas. If this all sounds vaguely familiar, it's because the Lone Woman, who really existed, is the central character in the popular children's book Island of the Blue Dolphins: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lone-woman-cave-20121027,0,1564818.story
