• Resumen

  • Arthur C. Aufderheide (Art, as he liked to be called by his many friends) was always in love of ancient cultures and archaeology.

    therefore it is not strange that in the late l 970s - early l 980s feeling old - according to his own words - to study a humanistic career decided to combine his own experience as a pathologist, his adventurer spirit and archaeology and what a better field to make the cocktail than paleopathology, a true unknown discipline for him at that moment. As many other paleopathologists, one of his first papers was entitled "The enigma of ancient cranial trepanation" (1985) and since then a big amount of cases, places, persons, etc. formed part of his life until his death in 2013.
