Object description

Ett kranium, från en indian. En pilspets sitter fast i tinningen på kraniet. Det har sänts från Los Angeles 16 jan. 1934 till Bollnäs museum med uppgiften att det påträffats på ön San Nicolas utanför Californien. Bollnäs museum placerade ut kraniet på Torsbergsgymnasiet på 1960-talet.

Kotan och korsbenet har en längre tid legat anonymt i skrubben i konserveringsateljén. De står dock omnämnda i en osteologiska rapport som Mats Pettersson genomförde i samband med förvärvet av kraniet så kopplingen till Bollnäskraniet är tydlig.(MB 20190122)

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
