Cranial trepanation is a fascinating field of study. Although more is known today about its place in human history, never before have those involved in studying these man-made skull openings come together to exchange information and ideas. This volume will look at the history of trepanation, the identification of skulls, the tools used to make the cranial openings, and theories as to why trepanation might have been performed many thousands of years ago. Among the issues addressed are: how trepanation led to modern surgery, the evolution of surgical procedures, the roles of magic, pathology and cranial injuries, future directions for study.
The volume has a cross-disciplinary appeal: chapters will be included from authorities in the field of anthropology, psychology, surgery, medical history, sociology and archeology. Chapters are written by authorities/leaders in the field. No other book is solely on trepanation.
