A Note on Three Skulls from Alaca-Höyük

A Note on Three Skulls from Alaca-Höyük

During the course of an investigation for another study, noticed that in the collection of Alaca Höyük skeletons preserved in the Department of Anthropology of the University of Ankara there were the remains of two skulls which, although represented by fragments, could be restored. I restored these two skulls (Alaca Höyük No. III and VIII) as much as possible. During the course of this investigation, I also restored the face of skull No. Il, which had been partially described before °. These three skulls (Nos. II, III and VIII) were found in the Copper Age stratum of Alaca Höyük during the excavation season of 1936. It is believed that these individuals had been caught and killed under the falling stones during an earthquake
