Статья в International Journal of Osteoarchaeology. 2005, № 15, с. 291–297.ABSTRACT The partial remains of a child’s cranium were examined as part of a three-year research project investigating the health and population movements of prehistoric communities in western Central Asia. Differential diagnoses are provided for an unusual aperture observed at
the bregma. Possible aetiologies for the aperture include congenital and developmental defects, pathological alterations, surgical intervention, trauma and post-mortem changes. The lesion presented in this article is interesting in terms of the contribution it makes to our understanding of the types of possible diseases that existed in the past, in this relatively understudied part of the world.
