Archie bones



I was reading through _Dinosaurs:  A Global View_, by Czerkas and 
Czerkas, when I came across the claim that _Archaeopteryx_'s bones were 
not hollow.  Is there any truth to this claim?

If so, this would be an autapomorphy of this particular animal, as other 
theropods *did* have hollow bones.  Correct?
