Premature sagittal suture synostosis was identified in eight specimens dated between the 18th and 20th centuries CE, of which seven are kept within the Rainer Osteological Collection in Bucharest and one was retrieved from the archaeologically investigated Saint Sava Church Cemetery. Our study focused on metric measurements, aiming to compare these specimens with three other samples comprising normal and scaphocephalic individuals, with both a Romanian and worldwide distribution. In total, 374 individuals were used in this study. However, although metric measurements clearly show that these individuals were different in their appearance, the socio-cultural data point to them being normal members of the society, as suggested by the funerary features of the archaeological specimens and their position within the Rainer Osteological Collection.
在公元18至20世纪的八个标本中发现了矢状缝过早闭合，其中七个保存在布加勒斯特的雷纳骨学收藏馆内，一个是从经考古调查的圣萨瓦教堂墓地中找到的。我们的研究集中在测量上，旨在将这些标本与另外三个样本进行比较，这三个样本包括罗马尼亚和世界各地分布的正常人和舟状头畸形个体。本研究总共使用了374个个体。然而，尽管测量结果清楚地表明这些个体外观不同，但社会文化数据表明他们是社会的正常成员，考古标本的丧葬特征及其在雷纳骨学收藏馆中的位置证明了这一点。
