A Woman From Colonial Indonesia Suffered Execution-Style Wounds, Possibly Due To Enslavement Or Suspected Sorcery, According To A Recent Analysis Of Her Skull

“We do not know who killed her. However, the sharp-force trauma wounds were consistent with a parang, a weapon commonly used by Papuan tribes in the colonial period,” said Sugianto Putri.

Hopefully, in the future, more studies will be done on the colonial period in Indonesia so scientists can learn about how people lived and died during that time.
