site (Lower Galilee, Israel) has yielded the largest Levantine hominin collection from Middle Palaeolithic layers which were dated to <italic>circa</italic> 90–100 kyrs BP or to marine isotope stage 5b–c. Within the hominin sample, Qafzeh 11, <italic>circa</italic> 12–13 yrs old at death, presents a skull lesion previously attributed to a healed trauma. Three dimensional imaging methods allowed us to better explore this lesion which appeared as being a frontal bone depressed fracture, associated with brain damage. Furthermore the endocranial volume, smaller than expected for dental age, supports the hypothesis of a growth delay due to traumatic brain injury. This trauma did not affect the typical human brain morphology pattern of the right frontal and left occipital petalia. It is highly probable that this young individual suffered from personality and neurological troubles directly related to focal cerebral damage. Interestingly this young individual benefited of a unique funerary practice among the south-western Asian burials dated to Middle Palaeolithic.</p></div></front><back><div1

Identification of skeletal abnormalities and degenerative joint disease, as well as evidence for bone lesions caused by trauma, can provide insights into the adaptation patterns and social behavior of these early nomadic hunter-gatherers. With regard to south-western Asia, the first pathological data, to our knowledge, were those brought in 1939 by McCown and Keith's original description of the Mount Carmel people. During the last three decades, new attempts emerged in the studies of near eastern fossil record, related to enrichment in the fossil hominin sample. In this perspective, fossil specimens have benefited from new paleopathological investigations.</p><p>Among Levantine Middle Palaeolithic hominins, evidence of cranial traumatic lesions was provided by McCown and Keith <xref rid="pone.0102822-McCown1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref> in their description of the partial skeletons from the Skhul Cave. According to these authors, the Skhul 1 child exhibits a depressed area in the mid-line of the frontal bone nearby the glabellar region which was interpreted <xref rid="pone.0102822-McCown1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref> (pp 309–310) as consequence of a blow. These authors also mentioned the presence of a perforation and fracture of the right temporal in the roof of the ear which could result from an impact. However, the paleopathological condition of these two cranial lesions remains unclear as the authors themselves concluded <xref rid="pone.0102822-McCown1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref> that both injuries “.. were inflicted at death or not unlikely at some time soon after death”. In an unpublished study, three of us (AmT, HD and BA) were not able to conclude if frontal and temporal changes observed on this fossil were pathological or taphonomical. McCown and Keith <xref rid="pone.0102822-McCown1" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref> (p 281) also drew attention to the presence of an injury “caused by a glancing blow at, or soon after death” in the left parieto-occipital area of the Skhul IX adult skull.</p><p>Later, in his original study of the Shanidar hominins from Iraqi Kurdistan, Trinkaus <xref rid="pone.0102822-Trinkaus1" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref> provided a description of several pathological conditions displayed by one of the individuals, Shanidar 1. This adult individual sustained, among several skeletal lesions, a crushing skull fracture which involved the frontal process of the left zygomatic bone and the lateral margin of the left orbit. This ante-mortem traumatic injury most probably caused blindness of the left eye <xref rid="pone.0102822-Trinkaus1" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>.</p><p>Within the Qafzeh hominin sample from lower Galilee, the skull of the adult Qafzeh 6 shows a concave indentation of the outer table of the frontal bone, without a fracture, in the area of the left supra-orbital region <xref rid="pone.0102822-Tillier1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>. Such a condition can result from either trauma due to an accidental self-hurt or a blow to the head due to inter-personal violence. One of the immature individuals from the site, Qafzeh 11, presents a skull lesion previously attributed to healed trauma <xref rid="pone.0102822-Dastugue1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Tillier3" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>. The goal of this study is to reappraise the Qafzeh 11 impact wound using 3D imaging methods, to better understand the pathological condition that affected this young individual. Indeed, 3D reconstructions applied to paleopathology allow us to better explore inner bone lesions, to evaluate their impact on soft tissues and to estimate volumetric data contributing to fossil reconstruction and preservation <xref rid="pone.0102822-Coqueugniot1" ref-type="bibr">[7]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Dutour1" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>Material</title><p>The Qafzeh site has yielded the largest hominin collection (N = 27, including partial eight skeletons, isolated bones and teeth) from Middle Palaeolithic layers in south-western Asia (<italic>e.g.</italic><xref rid="pone.0102822-Tillier3" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0102822-Vandermeersch1" ref-type="bibr">[10]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Tillier4" ref-type="bibr">[11]</xref>).

This lesion is characterized by an anterior depression on the right side of the frontal squama. It is limited forwards by a healed fracture line, which ends up to an oval shaped hole.

It has proved to be more precise and reliable for 3D measurements than other software programs currently implementing different algorithms for 3D reconstructions <xref rid="pone.0102822-Guyomarch1" ref-type="bibr">[23]</xref>. Besides providing additional estimation of the endocranial volume, virtual reconstruction allowed us to localize the impact of the cranial lesion on the brain surface, taking as a reference a 3D reconstruction of extant human brain <xref rid="pone.0102822-Amunts1" ref-type="bibr">[24]</xref> and checking the accurate correspondences of their anatomical landmarks <xref rid="pone.0102822-Holloway1" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>.</p><p>Measurements of the endocast were taken using these landmarks and metric tools implemented in TIVMI.

When considering dental maturation of this individual (giving an age estimation of about 12–13 years), this PEV value is smaller than expected in comparison with modern endocranial growth pattern defined by Coqueugniot and Hublin <xref rid="pone.0102822-Coqueugniot3" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>. PEV value of Qafzeh 11 actually corresponds to values from younger children (4–6 years).

Therefore, it appears that the small endocranial volume of Qafzeh 11 cannot be considered as normal relative to its dental age.

Its anterior face penetrates endocranially whereas the posterior face is shifted outwards, dislocating the coronal suture and causing a sutural separation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0102822-g003">figure 3B</xref>). Other fracture lines, different from taphonomic fracturing, can be identified although they are less obviously visible due to the bone remodelling of healing process. This is shown by a star-like aspect of fracture lines radiating from the impact area. This type of fracture, that can be related to a blunt force trauma, clinically corresponds to cranio-encephalic wound and raises the question of its impact on the brain.</p><fig id="pone-0102822-g003" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0102822.g003</object-id><label>Figure 3</label><caption><title>Superior view of Qafzeh 11 3D reconstructed skull showing the depressed fracture on the frontal's right side.</title><p>The skull vault appears in transparency and the virtual endocranial cast in pink.

Peri-mortem trauma can be difficult to differentiate from skeletal post-mortem changes due to taphonomic processes (e.g. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Waldron1" ref-type="bibr">[32]</xref>). Cases of serious cranial trauma are seldom documented in the human Upper Pleistocene fossil record from south-western Asia (e.g. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Trinkaus1" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Tillier2" ref-type="bibr">[5]</xref>) and Western Europe <xref rid="pone.0102822-Zollikoffer1" ref-type="bibr">[33]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Mann1" ref-type="bibr">[34]</xref>. Zollikoffer et al. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Zollikoffer1" ref-type="bibr">[33]</xref> asserted that the cranial injury displayed by the Neanderthal St-Césaire 1 resulted from an act “of intragroup, interpersonal violence” but did not cause the immediate death. Examining the pathological condition of Krapina 34.7 parietal fragment, Mann and Monge shared the same statement, i.e. the serious trauma “was not a mortal wound”; however they concluded that its cause “appears to one of an accident associated with life style of living and sleeping in caves” <xref rid="pone.0102822-Mann1" ref-type="bibr">[34]</xref>.</p><p>In his original description of the healed trauma which affected Qafzeh 11, Dastugue <xref rid="pone.0102822-Dastugue1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref> mentioned that the skull fracture was not lethal, related to a minor trauma and only localized on the skull vault. According to him, this so-called “benign fracture” did not have significant repercussions and occurred when Qafzeh 11 was young. Furthermore, the healing response had probably not undergone its complete trajectory before the death of the adolescent <xref rid="pone.0102822-Dastugue1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>. Dastugue concluded that the cause of death was unknown.</p><p>3D reconstructions clearly show that the Qafzeh 11 skull fracture was not a simple one. Indeed, this frontal bone fracture appears to be compound, with a broken piece of frontal squama that is depressed, isolated forwards by a linear fracture and backwards by sutural diastasis. As previously mentioned <xref rid="pone.0102822-Dastugue1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>, this fracture type generally results from a blunt force trauma (getting struck or kicked in the head by heavy and blunt material, accidentally or intentionally with weapon). This type of trauma can be interpreted as resulting from interpersonal violence, but as has been demonstrated by paediatricians, complex cranial fractures like this one can also occur accidentally <xref rid="pone.0102822-Wood1" ref-type="bibr">[35]</xref>. Contrary to the assumption of a non-serious wound made previously <xref rid="pone.0102822-Dastugue1" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>, the depressed fracture of Qafzeh 11 skull that can be considered as at least a moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) <xref rid="pone.0102822-Max1" ref-type="bibr">[36]</xref>, actually presents a high level of risk for brain damages (intra-cranial haemorrhages, diverse types of central nervous system lesions such as concussion, contusion, laceration, which can lead to destruction of brain tissue or cerebral scar). Besides the neurological damages due to focal brain lesion in the right frontal area, more precisely the areas 6 and 8. These areas are responsible for psychomotricity which may have led to troubles for controlling movement, difficulties for performing specific tasks, managing uncertainty, visual attention and eye movements and possibly the right area 44 (that seems also to be involved in oral communication as the left Broca's area, that is specialized in speech production). It is highly probable this young individual suffered also from personality changes due to traumatic brain injury. This personality disturbance is thought to be directly related to brain trauma and appears to be very frequent: 65% in severe to mild/moderate TBI, according to Max et al. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Max1" ref-type="bibr">[36]</xref>) but according to McAllister <xref rid="pone.0102822-McAllister1" ref-type="bibr">[37]</xref> “virtually all individuals who survive moderate and severe TBI are left with significant long-term neurobehavioral sequelae”. These troubles are characterized by a “distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning” and manifested in children as a “marked deviation from normal development” <xref rid="pone.0102822-Max1" ref-type="bibr">[36]</xref>.</p><p>Two methods have confirmed the small endocranial volume of Qafzeh 11. The virtual reconstructed endocranial volume provides an underestimated value due to the lack of anterior part of skull base which technically limits endocast segmentation and therefore makes its complete virtual reconstruction speculative. Recently, Kondo et al. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Kondo1" ref-type="bibr">[38]</xref> proposed a semi-virtual reconstruction of the Qafzeh 9 endocast. They obtained a EV value of 1411–1477 cc that is smaller than the initial estimation of 1508–1554 cc <xref rid="pone.0102822-Vandermeersch1" ref-type="bibr">[10]</xref> and the mean value of 1531 cc provided by Holloway et al. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Holloway1" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>. Considering that (i) EV virtual values appear to be smaller than calculated ones for the base- damaged Qafzeh 9 and 11 skulls, (ii) virtual EV are not available for other specimens of the site (Qafzeh 10 and 6), we prefer using estimated EV value calculated from formulae.</p><p>As for Qafzeh 11, EV values are nevertheless consistent each other and corroborate a small endocranial volume related to individual age whatever the method used. This can be interpreted as growth retardation due to the trauma. Indeed, generalized atrophic changes resulting in reduced overall brain volume has been documented in moderate-to-severe pediatric traumatic brain injury <xref rid="pone.0102822-Levine1" ref-type="bibr">[39]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Merkley1" ref-type="bibr">[40]</xref>. In addition to this focal effect on brain, a general growth retardation due to post-traumatic endocrine disturbance <xref rid="pone.0102822-GarciaSegura1" ref-type="bibr">[41]</xref> could be raised here.</p><p>Hemispheric asymmetry is present on Qafzeh 11. This feature has already been described on fossil hominins (e.g. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Holloway1" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0102822-LeMay1" ref-type="bibr">[29]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0102822-GrimaudHerv1" ref-type="bibr">[42]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Balzeau1" ref-type="bibr">[43]</xref>) including Qafzeh 9 <xref rid="pone.0102822-Kondo1" ref-type="bibr">[38]</xref> and among extant populations (e.g. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Toga1" ref-type="bibr">[28]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0102822-ChangChui1" ref-type="bibr">[44]</xref>). Therefore, despite the depressed frontal fracture that had probably impacted the underlying brain tissue of Qafzeh 11 frontal lobe, the physiological hemispheric asymmetric pattern was not affected.</p><p>As Qafzeh 11 has a PEV corresponding to a 4–6 years old modern child, we hypothesize that the trauma occurred at or before this age. Among skeletal indicators of growth disturbance and stress during childhood, is the manifestation of growth arrest lines (Harris lines) in the metaphyseal region of the long bones. These non-specific stress indicators usually vanish during life. Unfortunately, the preservation state of long bones does not allow any kind of investigation in the case of Qafzeh 11. Pathological alterations of the dental enamel, such as transverse linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH), are also employed in the assessment of physiological stress events and growth disturbances during childhood (e.g. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Goodman1" ref-type="bibr">[45]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Schultz1" ref-type="bibr">[48]</xref>). Presence of enamel hypoplasia on three lower teeth of Qafzeh 11 (right and left first molars, right second molar) was previously described by Skinner <xref rid="pone.0102822-Skinner1" ref-type="bibr">[49]</xref>. However, data collected on the specimen by one of us (AmT) point to the lack of LEH on the permanent upper and lower teeth and on the isolated germs of upper third molars as well <xref rid="pone.0102822-Tillier1" ref-type="bibr">[3]</xref>. Both lower right M1 and M2 indeed present a different enamel coloration above the cervix, located at the same height of the two crowns. This alteration is most probably of taphonomic origin and we suggest that the skull trauma didn't impact M1 and M2 complete crown formation, indicating that it probably occurred around 6 years of age.</p><p>In sum, the Qafzeh 11 child represents, to our knowledge, the oldest documented human case of severe cranial trauma available from south-western Asia, dated to 90–100 kyrs BP. The adult Shanidar 1 skull exhibits an indisputable evidence of trauma, that was sometimes interpreted as a consequence of interpersonal violence <xref rid="pone.0102822-Trinkaus1" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0102822-Churchill1" ref-type="bibr">[50]</xref> but the specimen is probably more recent <xref rid="pone.0102822-Cowgill1" ref-type="bibr">[51]</xref>. For Qafzeh 11, the exact circumstances surrounding the injury remain unknown, although this kind of injury generally results from a blunt force trauma.</p><p>Whatever the origin and severity of a given pathological condition observed on human Middle Palaeolithic hominins, speculations were made with regard to its consequences on individual life conditions and social status, in terms of disability, impairment and social care. Consequently, these questions are widening the debate introducing notions of altruism and compassion in prehistoric human communities and their possible role in human life history (e.g. <xref rid="pone.0102822-Trinkaus1" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0102822-Lebel1" ref-type="bibr">[52]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Hublin1" ref-type="bibr">[58]</xref>).</p><p>In this respect, it is crucial to assemble biological and pathological data with cultural observations and their subsequent interpretations. For the Qafzeh 11 subadult, it is now clear that severe cranio-encephalic trauma experienced during childhood, deeply impacted his/her cognitive and social communication skills. Interestingly Qafzeh 11 benefited from special social attention at his/her death, as shown from archaeological details. The Qafzeh 11 skeleton, recovered at the bottom of the Mousterian sequence in front of the entrance of the cave, revealed that the corpse was originally lying in a pit on its back, the head turned to the right with upper limbs flexed <xref rid="pone.0102822-Vandermeersch2" ref-type="bibr">[59]</xref>. The hands maintained their anatomical configuration and were lying together near the face western-oriented. The pelvic region and the lower limbs extended to the south from the skull, were post-depositionally damaged by a large stone. Besides this, there was a complete lack of mixing or bone displacement with an absence of animal scavenging traces. Furthermore, two deer antlers were lying on the upper part of the adolescent's chest, near his/her face and they were in close contact with the palmar side of the hand bones (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0102822-g005">figure 5</xref>). Such a hand location, within the original body spatial arrangement, attested a funerary offering and not an accidental incorporation. All these observations strongly support the interpretation of a deliberate, ceremonial burial for Qafzeh 11.</p><fig id="pone-0102822-g005" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0102822.g005</object-id><label>Figure 5</label><caption><title>Partial view of the Qafzeh 11 burial showing the deposit of the red deer antlers in close contact with the child skeleton (cast).</title></caption><graphic xlink:href="pone.0102822.g005"></graphic></fig><p>At Qafzeh several other burials occur <xref rid="pone.0102822-Vandermeersch2" ref-type="bibr">[59]</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0102822-Tillier7" ref-type="bibr">[62]</xref>, but Qafzeh 11 represents a unique case of differential treatment with convincing evidence for ritual behavior. We interpret the Qafzeh 11 burial as resulting from a ritual practice applied to a young individual who experienced a severe cranial trauma most probably followed by significant neurological and psychological disorders, including troubles in social communication. These biological and archaeological evidences reflect an elaborate social behavior among the Qafzeh Middle Palaeolithic people.</p></sec></body><back><ack><p>This study was made possible by the field work done at Qafzeh Cave by a team led by one of us (B.V.) and supported by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
