A partial human skull (calvarium only) was discovered in a crawl space beneath a house by an exterminator on December 6, 2002. Investigation and excavation beneath the residence by a forensic anthropologist and archaeologists revealed no further skeletal remains. Ground penetrating radar survey of the surrounding area revealed no evidence of buried remains or graves. The skull appears to be quite old based on taphonomic features.
