One of the cool things I got to see in person at the British Museum, was Lady Puabi's skull and headdress. I haven't gotten to see a very close up image of it. It's quite creepy. So I of course took some close up images of it. When Woolley and his crew excavated it, they couldn't safely separate the skull, the crown, and the soil. The tomb had been looted back in the second or third millenia. This was what the robbers missed. I bet in the future they'll be able to do it digitally.
Archeologists are not even sure if it is actually Puabi's skull, the location suggests it's her.
