Late post time week 4 Monday Another day…

Late post time, week 4:
Monday – Another day of cleaning up the skull, making sure there wasn’t any dirt left in between the various bones.
Tuesday – A bit more cleaning. A school came to visit so I helped them age, sex and estimate the height of the skeletons we’d laid out in the previous weeks.
Wednesday – As it was the open day I spent most of my time giving people a run though of my project, I also had enough time to age and sex the skull (turns out it’s most likely male and was around 47 years old when he died).
Thursday – I re-aged the skull using the Meindl and Lovejoy method and calculated the age range to be around 35-45 (approx 40), I also took photographs of the skull in various anatomical positions using the forensic camera kits.
Friday – I spent the day doing a bit more research. I first tried to track down the man who found the skull (Erik Grigg) to ask him a few questions about it. An article I read mentioned he owned a music shop in the Mall, but when I went looking for it it seemed to have been shut down. I instead went to Jew’s House up the Steep Hill and asked them, luckily enough they had a magazine which had is handwritten account in it, meaning I don’t need to trawl the internet looking for a phone number.
