09:30 Radio carbon dating - Aussie skull

Dr Fiona Petchey, radio carbon dating anthropologist.

The discovery of a skull on one of Sydney's northern beaches posed a real mystery for Australian detectives, prompting them to seek help from anthropologists at Waikato University. The university's radio carbon dating unit dated the skull at about 700 years old. Police have now concluded that they are not dealing with a crime and that the skull probably belongs to a museum, a private collector or a research facility - although no one has claimed it.
