Chatters was also the first to suspect the great age of the Stickman skull, which he saw in the CWU collection while seeking a colleague's opinion on the Kennewick Man bones. No one at the college could remember where the skull had come from, and there were no records.I guess that blows away any claim to it under NAGPRA.
Good thing this was the action of professionals; had an amateur been guilty of such egregious lack of documentation, the pros would be screaming for Congress to pass even more stringent anti-touching laws.
