The Bioarchaeology of the Human HeadDecapitation, Decoration, and Deformation
Featuring a wealth of case studies on human skulls recovered from ethnographic and archaeological contexts around the world, this book focuses on the question of whose skulls and heads were collected and modified and why, whether as ancestors or enemies, as insiders or outsiders, as males, females or children. This volume includes discussions of osteological examinations, visual descriptions, iconography, taphonomy, and DNA, x-ray and isotope ana…
The bioarchaeology of the human head: Decapitation, Decoration, and Deformation
"Explores the symbolic significance of the human head in cultural, political, economic, and religious ritual across the world"
A bioarchaeological study of plastered skulls from Anatolia: New Discoveries and Interpretations
Skull removal and the modelling of facial features on dry human skulls occurred in central Anatolia during the late Neolithic period (ca. 6000–5000 BC) at the site of Köşk Höyük. This paper describes significant new evidence for plastered and undecorated skulls from Köşk Höyük that is inconsistent with prior interpretations of these remains as that of an ancestor cult. Rather, this new evidence strongly suggests a funerary ritual in the Near East…
Including Women and Children: Neolithic Modeled Skulls from Jordan, Israel, Syria and Turkey
Neolithic Plastered Skulls and Railroading Epistemologies
Assumptions about Neolithic plastered skulls in the Levant are "railroaded" upon us in two different ways: concerning age and sex, and the use of intentional postmortem dental evulsion. These two paths are eventually united to solidify the argument in favor of an ancestor cult of male elders. New scientific evidence is presented to disprove the old epistemologies regarding age, sex, and the use of postmortem dental evulsion
Reassessing “Dental Evulsion” in Neolithic Plastered Skulls From the Levant Through the Use of Computed Tomography, Direct Observation, and Photographs
Cranial Modeling and Neolithic Bone Modification at 'Ain Ghazal: New Interpretations
Two crania from 'Ain Ghazal exhibit evidence of modeling as well as "cutmarks " or "scratches. " Striations on one cranium have been misinterpreted : the marks are a result of Neolithic sanding, not defleshing. Further study of the marks on the second cranium is needed before can be interpreted. Both crania are examples plastered skulls
