Abstract:
[SY 669 885]. The skeleton Q1 from the long mound structure at Maiden Castle is considered in detail. In particular the nature of the injuries in various parts of the skull and post-cranial skeleton is discussed as a forensic exercise. A major finding is that some of the injuries would seem to be the result of a long sharp metal weapon - a fact which is incompatible with the supposed Neolithic date of the skeleton. As a result of this clash in evidence, a 14C date was obtained directly from a bone sample. This supports a post-Neolithic date for the body. Possible social implications of the mutilations are briefly discussed. Au
