AnIron AgeScottishwoman likely had her brains scooped out after she died as part of her burial, according to a new study that sheds further light on the complex funerary rites of this prehistoric culture.Researchers from the UK and US found that this individual, most likely over the age of 30, had cuts on the inside of her skull.These straight and parallel incisions were probably caused by “deliberate scratching or cutting” with a “sharp” tool, according to the study published in the journalAntiquity.The base of her cranium was also broken in an “unusual” way, suggesting that the fracture was the result of “an intentional targeted impact,” the researchers noted.Together, the fracture and the cutmarks “are suggestive of deliberate removal of the brain soon after the death of this individual,” they said.The cutmarks were “also in the part of the cranium where you have ligaments attaching the brain to the skull, so it would make sense that you would want to scratch those if the intent is to remove the brain,” lead study author and archaeologist Laura Castells Navarro, a postdoctoral research associate at the UK’s University of York, told CNN Tuesday.She added that the “easiest way to access” the brain while preserving the cranium “is the base of the skull,” and the break looked “very, very fresh.”Photographs of bones showing evidence of manipulation after death.Rebecca Ellis-Haken/Courtesy Antiquity Publications Ltd.The researchers also found that at least four of the woman’s long bones – femur (or thigh bone), humerus from both upper arms and ulna from the forearm – were modified before she was laid to rest.While an initial 2003reportsuggested the bones may have been gnawed by rodents, Navarro said marks by rodents are “never smooth” and “what we are seeing is an actual polishing of the remains.”“We think that what happened was that they (the bones) may have been snapped in half, and then they had been whittled to a very sharp edge” and tapered to an elongated point,
