Experts from a US museum believe it could be one of the oldest examples of advanced surgery. The Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma said the skull is reported to have been that of a man who was injured in battle before undergoing surgery to implant a piece of metal in his head to repair a fracture.
I was about to ask if it was done posthumously to honor or bury him. The description makes it seem like he might have survived the encounter which makes it kind of incredible to imagine and crazy to think about what happened after the encounter to end here.
Just because he might've been still "alive" at the point of "surgery", doesn't mean he actually survived the procedure.
Would they have any way to tell other than bone growth?
Humans are metal.

That comment is medal.
Thank god for the big red circle and arrow. I would've totally missed it otherwise.
How do they know he didn't just get hit by a piece of molten metal?
