Um, wow...

So I'm sitting here working on m'new SF story, wishing it wasn't starting to feel quite so long (I do not have time to write novellae, damn it, I have other stuff to do...!), and I suddenly need to know if there are traditional or mythological names for female centaurs; so I google, naturally. And I find a site that is no help at all with nomenclature, but its opening sentence rivets me instanter:

"The eclipse of the female centaur from history is a critical failure to know rather than an anthropological failure of knowledge. The evidence from recent digs in Tunis, Turkey, and most recently Cleveland, Ohio have provided anthropologists ... with dozens of specimens of female centaur remains..."

And so it goes on. It's the work of one Dr Anderson at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, apparently, and I recommend it to you. Urgently. You can find the rest of the paper here. Enjoy...
