Summary/Abstract: The human brain grows up to the age of 45-50 and therefore needs to expand its skull. Each of the craniofacial bones is connected by a straight stitch to the adjacent bone. In the skull, the sutures that connect the parietal bones close at certain ages. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the detailed morphology of metopic suture found in the skull of an Early Iron Age adult female individual aged 20-30 years obtained from the illegal excavations in Babacan's countryside around Van province. It is also possible to reveal the possible causes of the failure of metopic suture fusion by this study.
