Reconstruction Of A Conquistador Male Skull With 'Boarding Ax' Embedded In Cranium
Adult Male identified by physical anthropological traits to be European. Found exposed by road equipment on ranch in Chama, New Mexico. Skeleton was destroyed, but skull and artifact remained in place and intact. Ax head consistent with material culture of 16th-17th Century Spain. Association indicates that this burial site was not an intentional Christian burial, but rather a chance preservation in a remote area, and may likely be tied to the Pueblo Revolt of 1680
