Iron Age people living on the Iberian Peninsula in the last millennium BCE had a striking funerary tradition: chopping off people’s heads and hanging them in prominent places.
A team of European researchers analyzed seven severed heads from two archaeological sites in Spain to determine whether the beheaded individuals were locals or outsiders to these ancient settlements.
The findings suggest funerary decapitation traditions varied from community to community, and within individual settlements.
