The individual buried in Hunal had a "defensive fracture" of the right arm that had healed in a deformed manner. This is sometimes referred to as a "parry fracture", the type of wound one would get if struck when throwing up the arm to defend oneself (although Buikstra cautions that it might also have been produced by falling onto a hard surface). |
