Irregularities of cranial suture closure resulting in scaphocephaly are documented for a number of prehistoric and historic human populations of the eastern and western hemispheres, but what may be the first recorded case from southern Asia appeared during the 1987 archaeological field season at the Indus Valley Civilization site of Harappa, Pakistan. The female specimen with this condition also exhibits indicators of developmental abnormalities in the postcranial skeleton. These features are discussed in the context of assessing anatomical and ontogenetical relationships of craniostenostic eccentricities with abnormalities of facial, dental and postcranial regions of the skeletons of scaphocephalic individuals.
在东半球和西半球的许多史前及历史时期的人类群体中，都有关于颅骨缝线闭合异常导致舟状头畸形的记录，但南亚可能的首例记录病例出现在1987年考古季，位于巴基斯坦哈拉帕的印度河流域文明遗址。患有这种病症的女性标本在颅后骨骼中也表现出发育异常的指标。在评估舟状头畸形个体骨骼的面部、牙齿和颅后区域异常与颅骨狭窄性偏心率的解剖学和个体发育关系的背景下，对这些特征进行了讨论。
