Murder In The Queen's Armes
by Aaron Elkins

Originally published in October 1985.

"But why would anyone steal a thirty-thousand-year-old parieto-occipital calvareal fragment?" asks the distraught curator of the Dorchester Museum of Archaeology, staring at the empty case. "Beats the hell out of me," is Gideon's reply, but it doesn't take long for him to roll up his sleeves and get to work ferreting out the startling and murderous—answer.
