Bones found in the basement of a small-town barbershop in eastern Indiana are those of prehistoric American Indians, a coroner said, but how the bones got there is unknown.
Gary Engelbrecht discovered the bones in a basement vault when he opened his Fading Tradition barbershop about a year ago in Albany, about 10 miles northeast of Muncie.
But he forgot about them until last September when Delaware County Coroner Jim Clevenger came in for a haircut.
Engelbrecht mentioned the bones to Clevenger, who investigated. About 125 bone fragments were found in a deteriorating cardboard box. An anthropologist determined that they were from three prehistoric native Americans.
Engelbrecht says the barbershop building had various uses through the years.
