As precise as the Germans are, even though the actual skull was destroyed in a bombing raid, they must have done research with photos, drawing, and perhaps a pap[er published. Max Planck may have a whole file on this in a dusty file cabinet. This is better archaeology than digging a hole hoping for a Spanish conquistador helmet, though it would be nice. We found a site east of New Braunfels, Texas with an iron wagon wheel rim with perfect arrowheads chiseled out of it. My idiot son sold the rim to a collector. My question at the time was they must have had a metal sharp chisel to have done this. This site is just above the Spanish Camino Real going to the missions in East Texas. Projectile Pedernales points we found with tar still visible on the stems. This was in the 1980s---checking back a few years ago. we found a nice expensive housing development . SAD

True, Gunny, but they may have kept the papers in the same museum that was bombed.

Any one checked the Max Planck Institute?
