Studies on suture closure in mature European and East African Bantu skulls revealed marked differences in the degree of suture closure on the left and right side. Asymmetrical closure of sutures may lead to erroneous conclusions being made in ageing skulls if only one-half of the skull is available for examination. Asymmetry in suture closure was rather common in recent skulls, being particularly noticeable in the bregmatic and complicate parts of the coronal suture and in intermediate portions of lambdoid sutures.
对成熟的欧洲和东非班图人头骨缝合线闭合情况的研究表明，左右两侧缝合线的闭合程度存在显著差异。如果只有颅骨的一半可供检查，缝合线的不对称闭合可能会导致在对头骨进行年龄判断时得出错误结论。缝合线闭合的不对称在现代颅骨中相当常见，在冠状缝的前囟和复杂部位以及人字缝的中间部分尤为明显。
