____________________The remains of a 14-year-old girl discovered at the Jamestown colony in the US state of Virginia show cuts to her face and efforts to extract her brain. Here's Jane O'Brien. The girl's bones date to a period known to historians as The Starving Time. Scientists at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History say somebody tried to pry open her skull to remove the brain. Other cuts reveal her facial tissue and tongue were also extracted. Forensic anthropologist Dr Doug Owsley says the discovery is compelling evidence that the early settlers resorted to cannibalism during the winter of 1609. __________________在美国维吉尼亚州詹姆斯城发现了一名14岁小女孩的尸体,尸体面部有刀切的的痕迹,并有人试图取其脑髓.简-布莱恩报道. 这名女孩生活在历史学家称为大饥荒时期的年代.史密斯森博物馆自然历史科学家称有人试图撬开她的头骨来移除脑髓.其他切痕表明她的面部软组织预计舌头亦已被剔除.法医道阁-奥卫斯理说此次发现正是说明在1609冬天,早期移民确有食人以维持生存的有力证据.
