Description: | Ingisund, Northwall, Sanday, Orkney Scotland Part of assemblage: 2 complete human skulls, a fragment of another, a fragment of pelvis and a vertebra (axis). Presumably from a human burial in the vicinity of Northwall at HY/7444.(EWM)
One of the collection of Cursiter skulls. The skull has a round label with the number three on it on the forehead. Writing on the forehead identifies the skull as "Ingisund, Northwall, Sanday, Orkney. 3." The shape of the skull cannot be determined due to the fragmentary nature of the specimen. The skull is very light and fragile. It should be noted that the skull appears to be juvenile and could very well be a young male or female? It is definitely from either a teen or very young adult. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | CURSITER_PROJECT : HUMAN_REMAINS_SCOTLAND : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
