Officials in Wyoming are planning to contact tribes about a nearly intact human skill uncovered at a construction site.
The skull hasn't been dated yet but archaeologists say it belonged to an Indian person. The teeth were worn down, a common feature among Indian remains.
The Bureau of Land Management says it will notify the Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the Northern Arapaho Tribe about possible repatriation.
