Journal Of The Royal Anthropological Institute Of Great Britain And Ireland Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, 1882, Vol. 11 Another curious point noted by Dr. Broea is that, although these perforations are found in various parts of the skull and the posthumous mutilations are often of great extent, the forehead is always carefully exempted in both cases; this he adduces as one proof among many that these holes were not wounds received 1n battle; and also as showing a desire not to interfere with the personal appearance either during after death, lest the deceased should not be recognised in the world of spirits.
