This Medieval Italian Man Replaced His Amputated Hand With a Weapon
This Medieval Italian Man Replaced His Amputated Hand With a Weapon Archaeologists have found a fascinating puzzle in the shape of a man's remains dating back to medieval Italy. It looks like this guy went through life with a knife attached to his arm, in place of his amputated hand. The skeleton in question was found in a Longobard necropolis in the north of Italy, dating back to around the 6th to 8th centuries CE. Hundreds of skeletons were buried there, as well as a headless horse and several greyhounds, but this particular skeleton stood out. https://www.sciencealert.com/medieva...ife-prosthesis |
