Plastered skull from Jericho, 7000-6000 BCE. The removal of the skull and its separate burial was widely practiced in the Levant during the 7th millenium BCE. The lower jaw was often removed and the skull remodelled with plaster to build up the facial features. Shells were set into the empty sockets to represent the eyes. ANE 127414
