The skull which was found by Howard Wilson in 1933 at the Laguna Beach construction site, was radiocarbon dated at UCLA in 1969 by Berger and Libby. Using this method, by using the properties of radiocarbon, they found out that the skull is about 17,000 years old. That means that the Laguna Women lived and died around 15,000 B.C.
