Literally, digging up skulls (Scots.)
Interesting word, interesting origin. The basic meaning has to do with underhanded dealings, often dishonest and always dishonourable. The word was first used in the days of Victorian grave-robbers, skulldigery, to describe the nighttime activities of those feeding the needs of anatomists.
