A research team performed a detailed analysis of the traumas found on the skeletal remains. The researchers were interested in reconstructing the possible scenarios leading to the observed anthropological evidence. In conjunction with this study, the Institute of Forensic Medicine is completing the work on stable isotope ratios and ancient DNA of the bones. This will allow in the next future to reconstruct the diet, mobility, genetic affiliation of these people.Violence, warfare, and ritualsThe study demonstrates that 25% of the individuals died as a consequence of interpersonal violence, mostly related to hand-to-hand combat, often represented by traces of decapitation. Even though violence affected mostly men, also women and children were found among the victims. Some of the individuals from Tunnug1 show traces of throat-slitting and scalping. According to Marco Milella, first author of the study "this suggests that violence was not only related to raids and battles, but probably also due to specific, still mysterious, rituals involving the killing of humans and the collection of war trophies".

The Assyrian (or whomever) came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
Love history.
Obviously, White people did this to these poor POCs.
You’re the best.
Except for an, apparently, small effect from Jesus Christ’s efforts, there has been no change in Mankind’s behavior since the beginnings of our knowledge of Man.
Keep at it. You’re doing God’s work.
“traces of decapitation” makes as much sense as being partially pregnant.
The good old days, when life was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.
