Which department?
My guess is it is archeological (prob Native).

Anthropology? I think they tend to have pretty big collections of historical human remains.

If it was found in the anthropology, medical or archeology department, it would be clear it is not any uid. But if it was found elsewhere, different..

I noticed they aren't sure when the skull was found. I'd say 1945 - 1955 might be a better estimate... I wonder if this skull could belong to Evelyn Hartley, missing from four hours away.

It’d be nice to know if they sent it in for testing
