Viggen Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Archaeologists combing through a dig at historic Jamestown said they have unearthed a human skull fragment that shows markings that could bear evidence of the earliest known attempts at surgery in Colonial North America.

Three small circular markings also seem to suggest attempts were made to drill through the bone. full article at phillyburbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
