From Kalamazoo to San Berdoo.

Are they real places?

Kalamazoo is a city in SW Michigan most famous for being the hometown of MLB baseball great Derek Jeter who is one of the best shortstops of all time. San Berdoo is a nickname for San Bernardino, California.

Oh yeah, also, we know that the skeleton was a guy, between 16 and 25, and died between 1030-1200 AD.

That's pretty fascinating. The ore deposits in Michigan are scattered through out. The oddest ones are that one can find gold in places such as Allegan and Burr Oak while gold mines have been ran in Harrisville in Alcona County (this one shut down due to a collapse from flooding) and near Ishpeming in the UP west of Marquette (a mine that ran off and on from 1889 to 1991).

It's only a small sliver that holds the largest cities to the point some accuse the stereotypes of the Netherlands being a stereotype of just 13% of the landmass in Holland holds water somehow...

And to make things even more confusing, there's a town called Harlingen in Texas. The original Harlingen can be found in Fryslân, the Netherlands.
