(Fayette County, IN)--It was an incredible discovery along the banks of the Whitewater River in Fayette County that began recently when a man was hunting for Indian artifacts.  "He just happened to be out there one day and saw what he thought was the tip of a skull sticking out," said Sheriff Zac Jones.  The coroner was called.  He confirmed it was part of a human skull.  Eventually, it was sent to the University of Georgia for carbon dating.  Coroner Eddie Richardson announced the results Monday.  "At first I thought 'I'm not reading this right.'  I thought 'this can't be right' because that's really, really old," Richardson said.  The piece of skull dates back to about 2300 B.C.  Richardson said the person was likely a member of the Miami or Shawnee tribes that lived in the area at the time.  The coroner is currently awaiting guidance from the Department of Natural Resources to ensure the remains are handled according to cultural and legal standards.
