    Area of Science:

    • Paleopathology
    • Neolithic Archaeology

    Context:

    • Analysis of two trephined skulls from Schleswig-Holstein, dating to the Middle Neolithic Age.
    • One skull originates from a stone grave in Nebel, Amrum; the other is unprovenanced.
    • Comparison with trephinations from Bremen (Domsdüne) and Spanish skulls.

    Purpose:

    • To document and analyze trephination practices and associated epigenetic traits in the Neolithic.
    • To identify pathological changes and unique cranial features in the studied specimens.
    • To contribute to the understanding of prehistoric surgical techniques and population variations.

    Summary:

    • Two trephined skulls from Schleswig-Holstein, Middle Neolithic Age, exhibit circular trepanations and unique features like frontal bone grooves (sulci arteriosi/nervi).
    • Epigenetic traits include sutural ossicles, orbital notches, supraorbital foramina, and molar aplasia.
    • Pathological findings comprise frontal sinus hypoplasia and molar alveoli changes.

    Impact:

    • Provides evidence of trepanation in Neolithic Northern Europe, expanding geographical knowledge of the practice.
    • Highlights the presence of specific epigenetic traits and pathological conditions in a prehistoric population.
    • Offers insights into the diversity of cranial modifications and health conditions during the Middle Neolithic period.
