		The skull is wrapped with rope or cloth, either by itself or against a wooden board, which results in the misshaping, flattening or elongation of the skull.
		The problem with the skull binding theory in relation to this particular skull is that although the skull is elongated with a sloping back and flattened forehead, as one would expect to find in a boarded skull, experts state that this example has greater cubic capacity than a bound skull should have.
