| HRO = Human Remains Occurrence; a = absent on bones that were observable; na = not applicable (observation of this characteristic was not possible); und = undetermined (observation of this characteristic was possible but not recorded); PD = Provenience Designation; FS = Field Specimen. a Antemortem damage occurred before death; evidence of healing observed. b Perimortem damage occurred around the time death; no evidence of healing observed. c Damage that could have occurred either perimortem or postmortem—it was not possible to determine which (damage that is known to have occurred postmortem is not included in this table). d Type undetermined. e Probably absent as a result of craniosynostosis. |
