Thanks David.
The holes on top of the skull are worth look into. While the lines at 12 o'clock and 8 and 4 o'clock positions are part of the normal suture lines, but the line at 10 and 2 o'clock positions are not and could well be fractures from the holes with subsequent erosion.
There appears to be a greenstick type of fracture on the arm (where the bones fracture but do not snap like bending of a green stick). This is indicated by the small groove next to the hole. I am still puzzled by the hole, and struggle to find a possible cause of it.
Judging by the teeth, it look like a young person, adolescent age.
I am sure a lot of people have looked and poked and examined the skeleton, and I would be interested to see if anyone looked at it from a forensic point of view.
Cheers, Bo
