A centuries-old skull of a Native man uncovered near Toronto, Ontario, is not protected under Canadian law because it is not considered a "cemetery."

The Cemeteries Act prohibits the disturbance of gravesites. But an archaeologist said the law doesn't apply because the skull was not accompanied by other bones and seemed to have been intentionally placed.

The skull was discovered by a worker in the town of Swansea and dates back at least 400 years. The city of Toronto will try to repatriate the skull.
