With the help of the nuclear reactor at the University of Missouri, anthropologists have been able to match the skull and the remaining bones of the Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro, found in Lima, Peru. The vertebrae and a piece of sword used by the university's Museum of Anthropology to make the identification are on display this week. Pizarro, who conquered the Incas in 1532, was slain in 1541 in a sword fight with former followers.
