Abstract

Although anthropological studies on Muge have been published since the 19th century, crushing and other modifications undergone by many specimens were ascribed to the weight of overlying sediments. This was refuted by us (loc. cit.). It had become evident that these modifications are indeed spectacular lesions resulting from high violence at death, most related to death rituals.
