Have they jumped at a chance to help investigate the phenomena?
why would archaeologists have to do with it?

There is a culture that goes with the people. A multidisciplinary approach can yield the most answers.why would archaeologists have to do with it?

As an archaeologist I think I can demonstrate multidisciplinary working.
where is your evidence?
... It would be wonderful if they backed a full fledged effort to investigate the phenomena of the skulls, thus either adding credence to the sensationalism or cleaning the slate. Until then we are left with an enigma.
You might consider reading the whole tread there's quite a bit to this tread pro's and con's.There are many reports of giant skeletons found through out the United States. Many of these finds were, at the time, verified by both local professionals and even the Smithsonian. There are books that detail these finds. Whether or not the West Virginia finds are correct is a moot point. It hardly seems that so many people, both professional and layman would make so many mistakes. The Seneca and Iroquaise had traditions and tales of their wiping out a giant, red haired, tribe.

The Patagonian giants were seen by several early explorers. Unless these early explorers were midgets I have a problem seeing them all as hoaxters. Have you ever read "Forbidden Archeology by Thompson. The unabridged copy will give details of this and many other "swept under the rug" discoveries. I wasn't disputing ramonmercad's post.
Still it seems there are too many for then all to be hoax. AND there are books that give details about the finds, as of who, when, where, verified by who, when and what happened to the evidence. Many of these accounts are way too well authenicated to be a hoax.
NOW, they say the Bumble bee thing was just a misunderstanding. When I was in school it was out there as a scientific fact. I'm talking circa 60 years ago. It certainly was a widespread scientific misunderstanding. Another "misunderstanding must of been the matter of "Continental Drift". When I brought the matter up in a college class the Professor blew his top. I was informed in no uncertain terms that the continents were most assuredly fixed with no movement what so ever. I had read a report by a German scientist who proposed earth plates and the continents moved over time. The east coast of the U.S. and western Europe fit rather well together. That was simply a coincidence. Keep in mind this matter is just with-in my lifetime; not so long ago. I was right, Professor Hardhead was wrong. Unfortunately continental drift was not accepted by the scientific establishment until well after I'd graduated from college. So I never got to "rub it in".I'd like to hear more about the 10 foot giants. Also that bumblebee thing is just a misunderstanding.
An interesting films out of time, the Watussi. I believe they are the African's you spoke of. Pretty cool film from a long bygone era.If I remember my old National Geographics correctly. I remember an article about a tribe of Africans where-in the average height of the male members was over 7 ft. with a few very close to 8 ft. I have no idea as to the year or volume. Yes, Jim I remember an artcle about the Scotsman. Here again is proof the tallness does not have to equate with physical problems. There were a couple (married) in Ohio, in the late 1800s. Both were over 8 ft tall. They had their house especially built to fit their size. Again I cannot tell you where I read the article.
Don't let the Smithsonian see this. We'd better delete that post before they close down the forum and assassinate us all for having seen it.
