GALLINA CULTURE MASSACRE UNCOVERED IN REMOTE NEW MEXICO CANYON;  
CRANIAL DEFORMATION FOUND

Seven skeletons belonging to the mysterious Gallina Culture of  
ancient New Mexico were uncovered in a remote canyon. The Gallina  
lived in the area from 1100-1275 AD. They had been brutally murdered  
and their bodies thrown in disarray outside their burned homes.  
Almost all of the Gallina skeletons found since their discovery in  
1930 have been found murdered. The skulls of the seven skeletons  
showed unusual cranial deformation-unique to the Ancient Southwest.
Perhaps there was an ongoing genocide against this culture because  
they were alien in some way to the surrounding cultures. National  
Geographic has the story
