抄録

A description and a discussion are given by the authors on a round shaped greenish coloring, seemingly caused by a decorative bronze disc on the squamal surface in the supraglabellar region of a male human skull from the Koura-site of the Earlier Yayoi-period together with an unnatural flatness of the bone surface in the supraasterional region on both sides of the same skull. According to the authors, these seem to have been caused by an incessant use, from an early age onward, of a headband with a copper disc fastened to it in front. This, being an unique instance among the Koura skulls, appears to indicate that the individual in question might have been of a special duty, presumably of a religious one.
