（单词翻译）

 Crikeley Hill is just one of a number of violent clashes in soutnern Britain. It was a period of instablility that seems to have brought monument building in this area to a standstill. Excavated1 skulls3 from the period provided an insight into the savagery4 of the fighting.-We held this individual examples of people that die violently. The original point of impact on this individual was from the side perhaps even slightly behind, coming in from this direction. This is a very sharp strong blow. This is a rounded fracture arc. There is no question that injury of this severity penetrating5 the q*, driving the bone fragments into the brain would be instantly lethal6.

Research shows no one was spare from the bloodshed.
-This is an adult female skull2. In i* societies, it seems impossible to think that women were not always just innocent bystanders. They may have actually been involved in the conflict, and indeed fighting themselves. You don't know who is armed. There are no uniforms to know who is combatant, who is non-combatant. In this case, we have a hearing bone that slightly depressed7, and that indicates to me that there's a degree of elasticity8 in the bone, this typical of the bone being stoned fresh. In other words, that was a lethal injury.
