“The few that are available for medical study become pretty expensive and that’s why we end up purchasing plastic replica skulls because they’re just easier to get a hold of and they hold up better because real human skulls are quite fragile.” – Sarah Lacy, assistant professor of anthropology, was interviewed for the NBC-4 News feature “Are Museum Bones on Display Real or Replica?”
Lacy’s interview begins at 14:20 minutes in the piece.
