The skull of an adult man comes from a cemetery on the eastern shore of the Parsteinsee Lake and dated to the transition period between the Neolithic period and Bronze Age. The oval hole in the forehead is the result of a medical intervention to remove a foreign object or to reduce pressure inside the skull following an injury. Healing processes on the bone around the hole prove that the patient lived on for a considerable time after the operation.
