When Incan healers scraped or cut a hunk of bone out of a person's
head, they meant business. Practitioners of this technique, known as
trepanation, demonstrated great skill more than 500 years ago in
treating warriors' head wounds and possibly other medical problems,
rarely causing infections or killing their patients, two anthropologists find.
