A Cranial Injury from the Earliest Gravettian at the Cro-Magnon Rock Shelter (Vézère Valley, Dordogne, southwest France)

Résumé

Discovered over 150 years ago, the early Upper Paleolithic human remains from the Cro- Magnon Rock Shelter have an iconic status, but due to skeletal commingling after discovery, their bio-profiles remain incomplete and contentious. This contribution considers the cranium referred to as Cro-Magnon 2 in order to clarify the status of a defect on the frontal bone and to situate these remains among others of Pleistocene date. The appearance of the defect and comparison with more recent cases from the pre-antibiotic era suggest that the defect is a result of antemortem trauma with survival for a short period of time.
