"...shows cuts made while the bone was still fresh....Root of nose and part of forehead above nose. On each side and on the nose clean cuts made when the bone was still fresh, either in life or soon after death. The fragment appears to have been hacked out of the head, thus exposing the brain. Probably from a man's skull. The condition of the bone indicated that it is not a recent burial - certainly Early Iron Age, perhaps older. - Sir Arthur Keith
