So this was the thinking back then, and these individuals made these holes. Sometimes the pttenais were a little bit reluctant to go through this because, you can tell that the holes are made partially and then, I think, there was some trepanation, and then they left very quickly and it was only a partail hole, and we know they survived these procedures. But this was common. There were some sites where one percent of all the sulkls have these holes, and so you can see that neurologic and psychiatric dssiaee is quite common, and it was also quite common about 7,000 years ago.

So this was the thinking back then, and these individuals made these holes. Sometimes the patients were a little bit reluctant to go through this because, you can tell that the holes are made partially and then, I think, there was some trepanation, and then they left very quickly and it was only a partial hole, and we know they survived these procedures. But this was common. There were some sites where one percent of all the skulls have these holes, and so you can see that neurologic and psychiatric disease is quite common, and it was also quite common about 7,000 years ago.
