Two Cases of Premature Suture Closure Among The Ancien't Inhabitants of Anatolia

Two Cases of Premature Suture Closure Among The Ancien't Inhabitants of Anatolia

In an earlier study on the longevity of the ancient Anatolians, I pointed out the presence of two skulls showing premature suture closure among the ancient inhabitants of Anatolia. These two skulls which had been only briefly referred to in this previous paper are dealt with in the present study. One of these skulls is from Kaledoruğru near Samsun (Kaledoruğ'u No. I) and the other is from Alaca Höyük in Çorum.
