In a voiceover, Paul Herlinger explains that the "Marmes Two Skull", will join the "Marmes One Skull". A sign reads "Laboratory of Anthropology". Roald Fryxell examines the skull fragments. Roald Fryxell points out the venation-the pattern left by the blood vessels in the lining of the brain-and the irregular pattern of the sutures. Dr. Grover Krantz, physical anthropologist, holds in his hands fragments of skeletal material. Grover discusses that the teeth can be used to place the age of the skull. The "Marmes Skull One" and "Marmes Skull Two" are blocked in with color on an Indian skull to show approximately where they were found. Dr. Carl Gustafson, a zoologist, examines animals' bones. He identifies fragments from an arctic fox, and thus climate for the Marmes Man must have been cold. The length of the ridge where the ridge the jaw muscles attached is noticeably longer than a red fox. Dr. Gustafson holds up an elk bone and demonstrates how it was forcefully broken. Dr. Gustafson surmises that it was probably cracked open for marrow. Actual samples of the earth's surface from the Marmes dig were peeled from the floor of excavation site. These squares of soil are bonded to cloth using latex and are now displayed at the anthropology lab. Ruth Kirk and Roald Fryxell examine the cross sections of the walls. A woman in a nuclear physics lab works with the samples of plant and animal material from the site measuring the Carbon 14. The Carbon 14 results indicate that the age of the samples are at least 10,000 years old. Grover Krantz holds the skull fragments and examines a tooth, pointing to the shovel shaped inner cross-section. In a voiceover, it is explained that the cross-section indicates the teeth originate from the Mongoloid stock, from Asia, rather than Caucasian stock. Ruth Kirk and Dr. Richard Daugherty, co-director of the Marmes dig, examine the tip of stone points. Title of clip supplied by cataloger.
