| Description |
English: Artificially shaped skull (presumably Migrations Period, from Crimea), but in all probability not from Avar! The picture, embedded in the article "Makrokephalie", is explained as artificially shaped Avar skull. The text mentions, regarding the picture, skull finds from Crimea, which "were assumed to originate from the Avars or Huns". This interpretation is doubtful an based on unsufficient knowledge in 1889. Skull deformations are not common any more in Avar times. Deutsch: Künstlich deformierter Schädel (vermutlich völkerwanderungszeitlich von der Krim), aber sehr wahrscheinlich nicht awarisch! Aus Meyers Konversationslexikon Bd.11, S.137, Fig. 2. (Leipzig 1889). Das Bild ist in den Artikel Makrokephalie eingebettet und unterschrieben als Künstlich geformter Avarenschädel. Im Text wird im Zusammenhang mit dem Bild auf Schädelfunde von der Krim verwiesen, die, "wie man annahm, von den Avaren oder Hunnen herrühren". Diese Einordnung ist zweifelhaft und beruht auf einem 1889 noch unzureichenden Forschungsstand. Bei den Awaren sind Schädeldeformationen nicht mehr üblich. |
