This broad literature review considers advances in the study of cranial vault modification with an emphasis on investigations of Andean skeletal remains over the last two decades. I delimit three broad categories of research, building on Verano's synthesis of the state of Andean paleopathology in 1997. These are associations with skeletal pathological conditions, classification and morphology, and social identity. Progress is noted in each of these areas with a particular emphasis on methodological advances in studying morphology as well as the growth of contextualized bioarchaeology and the incorporation of social theory in the consideration of cranial modification as a cultural practice. The article concludes with avenues for future research on head shaping in the Andes specifically and paleopathology more broadly.
这篇广泛的文献综述考虑了颅腔改造研究的进展，重点是过去二十年对安第斯骨骼遗骸的调查。我借鉴了 Verano 1997 年对安第斯古病理学状况的综合分析，将研究分为三大类。这些与骨骼病理状况、分类和形态以及社会身份有关。在这些领域都取得了进展，特别强调了在研究形态方面的方法学进展，以及语境化生物考古学的发展以及在将颅骨改造作为一种文化实践来考虑时社会理论的纳入。本文最后探讨了安第斯地区头部塑形以及更广泛的古病理学领域未来研究的方向。
