Thanks for the response . Ethnology is fascinating and this piece was completely unexpected.

I had not heard of the Herto skulls, but looked them up :

I don't know quite where to place that at this point.

Skulls are the most expressive of bones, and the most characteristic . That would be my guess as to why they were curated . Curation of long-bones besides is something of a puzzle to me ...
