特罗西诺堡 (Castel Trosino) 的朗巴德 (Longobard) 墓地的历史可以追溯到公元 6 世纪至 8 世纪。在发掘的坟墓中，一位年长女性的头骨显示了活体上十字形骨骼改造的第一个证据。宏观、微观和 CT 扫描分析显示至少有两组刮擦痕迹的迹象。具体来说，扫描电镜分析显示头骨上存在骨周围刮擦痕迹。治愈和未治愈的缺陷都表明该妇女至少接受过两次有意的骨骼改造来解决她的病情。这是对活体受试者进行十字形治疗干预的第一个证据。
The Longobard necropolis of Castel Trosino dates from the 6th to the 8th century CE. Among the tombs excavated, the skull of an older female shows the first evidence of a cross‐shaped bone modification on a living subject. Macroscopic, microscopic, and CT scan analyses revealed signs of at least two sets of scraping marks. Specifically, SEM analysis shows thatperimortembone‐scraping traces are present on the skull. Both healed and non‐healed defects suggest that the woman has received at least twice intentional bone modifications to address her condition. This is the first evidence of a cross‐shaped therapeutic intervention on a living subject.
