Looking for bones to pick

Most Americans are buried or cremated after they die. For those who want something less clichÇ, there's the Maxwell Museum's Laboratory of Human Osteology. The lab stores about 250 modern skeletons that were donated. It is also home to historic and prehistoric remains from about 3,000 people. Heather Edgar, curator of the collection, said she has an exciting job. "There are days when people call and say, 'Oh, I found this skull out in the desert,'" she said. "They're freaking out, and then it turns out to be a piece of dog skull or something. When I come to work, I might have a plan, but I never know what's going to happen."
