Notes: Cultural Resource Series No. 24.  Pre-NAGPRA (1990).  The facial reconstruction based on cranial measurements should freak you out.  “The skeleton represents an American Indian Pueblo male, 35 ± about 5 years of age, 5 ft. 7 inches tall ±1.5 inches.  This individual lived approximately 770 years ago, and had been scalped at about the time of death.”  (From the Overview of Skeleton 5DL975).  Later reburied.
