Objective

To interpret traumatic cranial lesions on two individuals buried at the Neolithic necropolis of Campo de Hockey, Spain.

Materials

Skeletal remains and grave goods associated with two individuals recovered in good condition from a single grave.

Methods

Crania were macroscopically and radiographically analysed.

Results

Of all the individuals recovered from this site, only two present perimortem skull injuries. Fractures were located on the right side of the skulls, one on the frontal bone and the other on the parietal bone.

Conclusions

The individuals present signs of interpersonal violence. In both cases, the injuries are perimortem and may have contributed to the deaths of the individuals.

Significance

The identification of interpersonal violence in the two individuals buried in the tomb, alongside the archaeological context of the burials, provides unique insight into Neolithic burial practices in the Iberian Peninsula and the role that paleopathology can play in the recognition of social complexity.

Limitations

The skeletal remains of the two individuals were fragmented, rendering the identification of perimortem lesions difficult.

Suggestions for further research

New imaging techniques, including CT-scan, will provide more detailed analyses.

坎波·德·曲棍球新石器时代的墓地（西班牙加的斯圣费尔南多）可能发生人际暴力。

目的

解释埋在西班牙坎波德曲棍球的新石器时代墓地上的两个人的颅骨损伤。

用料

与两个人有关的骨骼遗骸和坟墓从一个坟墓中恢复良好状态。

方法

对克雷尼亚进行宏观和射线照相分析。

结果

从该部位康复的所有个体中，只有两个目前尸体颅骨受伤。骨折位于头骨的右侧，一个位于额骨，另一个位于顶骨。

结论

个人表现出人际暴力的迹象。在这两种情况下，伤害都是尸体死亡，可能导致个人死亡。

意义

对埋葬在坟墓中的两个人的人际暴力以及墓葬的考古背景的鉴定，为伊比利亚半岛的新石器时代墓葬活动提供了独特的见识，以及古病理学在认识社会复杂性方面可以发挥的作用。

局限性

这两个人的骨骼残骸碎片化，难以识别尸体病变。

进一步研究的建议

包括CT扫描在内的新成像技术将提供更详细的分析。
