Iron Age woman's skull shows evidence of brain removal
A woman from the Iron Age in Scotland likely had her brain deliberately removed after death as part of burial rituals, based on evidence of cut marks inside her skull and a fracturing at its base. Researchers found that her long bones were carefully placed back in their anatomical positions, indicating reverence rather than disrespect. DNA and radiocarbon analysis suggest she was related to a young male also buried nearby, and both likely died between 50 BC and 70 AD.
