Female bones excavated from the bubbling asphalt in 1914 used to be mounted in the museum, alongside a life-sized dummy purporting to resemble the woman to whom the bones had belonged. The exhibit was called La Brea Woman. La Brea means "the tar" in Spanish. La Brea Woman probably died from injuries inflicted by a blunt instrument: a piece of bone is missing from the top of her skull... Scientists believe that La Brea Woman died with her dog by her side, since canine bones were found near her remains. La Brea Woman is 9,000 years old, has a hole in her head and a broken jaw, and I feel connected to her... La Brea Woman was not part of the tribe that lived in the environs of the tar pits, where she ended up... About two years ago, the tar pits museum removed her exhibit from what is now an emergency exit between the "Invertebrates" case and the "Asphalt and People" case. Her exhibit was removed because the curator, John M. Harris, was worried that this display of historic remains might offend Native Americans or attract attention to her remains... "Actually, she had an ectopic tooth," Christopher Shaw tells me. He is the collections manager... "She had lost many teeth by then," Shaw says, turning the skull in his hands to show La Brea Woman's various defects. "The molar in her lower jaw is impacted." ...La Brea Woman is the oldest known Californian.

Or maybe she was the aggressor and the other person killed her in self-defense.
Probably snuffed by an illegal alien.

I thought that was Nazi Pelosi.

She fell a good distance and bashed her skull

Maybe Islam is older than generally believed, and she was buried to the waist in the tar, then stoned.

Prehistoric divorce?
Bush’s fault?

Having worked with these type of people once before in a former life, I can tell you this is PC speech meaning "We don't want to risk another Kennewick Man incident which might expose further truth and cast doubt on our PC theories as to originally might have lived here.
Kennwick man was a farce. 9,300 years old and the tribes were allowed to claim him and keep scientists from examining the remains. And he was caucasian.
