The goal of this study is a comprehensive examination of openings discovered on two skulls in the collection of skeletal remains from the Loyalty Islands (Melanesia). The skull No. 1524 displayed an evidence of successful trepanation, and the skull No. 7985 revealed openings that were reminiscent of a trepanation, however, we are inclined to believe that in the latter case we are dealing with a rare genetic anomaly - enlarged parietal foramen.
本研究的目的是全面检查来自洛亚蒂群岛（美拉尼西亚）骨骼遗骸收藏中的两颗头骨上发现的开口。1524号头骨显示出成功环锯术的证据，而7985号头骨上发现的开口让人联想到环锯术，然而，我们倾向于认为，在后一种情况下，我们面对的是一种罕见的基因异常——顶骨孔扩大。
