[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]Swenet[/b]: Was there technique diversity in the Algerian Epi-Palaeolithic, metal age and modern Algerian instances of trephination? Please specify. What I don't buy into is not something as trivial as the use of separate techniques, what I don't buy is that the (idea of the) practice itself was independently invented 3 times, in the Maghreb. [/QUOTE][b]Slow down. Go slow, go slow. pt3[/b] The reason I say trephination is poor and weak evidence of cultural continuity over thousands of years is its found everywhere around the globe. I seriously doubt diffusion from the locale of its first occurrence can account for it all around the world. How hard is it to think of relieving pressure from something by poking a hole in it? That's the idea that was applied to human skulls by the most primitive of people the Maurusians to modern day people coastal Berbers, Tubu, etc. But the idea never caught on with Tuareg. The technique and tools would have to vary from the stone age to the bronze age to the iron age to modern brain surgery. [/QB][/QUOTE]
