Description
The back of the Clachaig Skull, recorded as part of Canmore ID 39676, museum accession no. GLAHM:A.1912.21/1. The circular hole was where a sample was taken for DNA testing. The skull was found to date to the Neolithic period and is that of a young male," probably a farmer". The spooky reflection is courtesy of my husband walking (by chance) at the far side of the case, wearing his dark blue waterproofs.
