The research was published Wednesday in Science Advances. Other small marks show the skulls were defleshed before carving. Instead, they were made with flint tools not long after the individuals had died. U sing the latest microscopy techniques, the researchers from the German Archeological Institute ruled out the possibility that the marks were made by animals gnawing the bones, or by other natural processes.
