oldest skull surgery in North America dates back a staggering 3,000 years, new research has found.<\/p>\n<p>Analysis of a prehistoric man\u2019s skull found a hole in his forehead, according to bioarchaeologist Diana Simpson from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>Data suggests that someone scraped the bone out of the skull as it sustained trauma around its oval opening, reported\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencenews.org\/article\/skull-surgery-oldest-north-america-forehead-brain\">Science News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, bone regrowth was identified around the skull\u2019s opening, indicating that the man lived for up to one year after the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson noted that one potential reason behind the gory \u2018surgery\u2019 may have been to reduce brain swelling.<\/p>\n<p>Several fractures were also found above the man\u2019s left eye, left arm, leg, and collarbone.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at the traumas holistically, they suggest that the brain injury may have been caused by an attack or fall, according to Simpson.<\/p>\n<p>The archaeologist presented the findings at a virtual session of the annual meeting of the American Association of Biological Anthropologists.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers excavated the remains in northwest Alabama, and estimate them to be between 3,000 and 5,000 years old.<\/p>\n<p>While skull surgery can be traced as far back as 13,000 years ago, this discovery marks North America\u2019s oldest known case.<\/p>\n<p>Items found near the man\u2019s grave suggest he may have been a ritual practitioner or shaman.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the objects included sharpened bone pins and deer and turkey bones, which may have been used for tattooing, <a
