4,270-Year-Old Human Skull Found in Indiana Sparks Historical Debate
In Fayette County, human remains dating back approximately 4,270 years were discovered near the Whitewater River. The skull fragment, found by a landowner in June, was analyzed by the University of Indianapolis Human Identification Center and the University of Georgia, confirming its age. The coroner’s office is now collaborating with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to determine the next steps for the remains. This significant find emphasizes the long history of human presence in the area.
