Abstract
This article is a brief study of a skull deformed by an antemortem cultural practice found in a Late Middle Susiana context at the Chogha Mish site in Khuzestan, Iran. The author describes the physical appearance of the skull, tooth wear, and methods of producing skull deformation in both living and prehistoric populations. Comparisons are made to other areas of the world where skull deformation exists. A table,(Table 48), compares anthropometric measurements between the Chogha Mish skull and a skull of similar size from the Early Bronze Age site of Bab edh-Dhra, in Jordan.
