Full Description

Incomplete human skull (large hole in top of cranium), eroded surface. Adult ?male (sexing difficult). Unusually narrow palate and poorly developed zygomatic bones, but not advanced enough to suggest major dystostosis. Mandible not present. Semi-circular tooth erosion of right second incisor and canine and left canine suggests pipe smoker (therefore PMed). Details in (S1)(S2). Found circa 1989 by deceased owner with other bones which were discarded - possibly complete burial.
