Several Paracas skulls discovered in Peru have been found with an unusual single parietal plate, rather than the typical two parietal bones separated by the sagittal suture. These skulls, often referred to as elongated skulls, exhibit anatomical anomalies that some researchers claim are not due to cranial deformation alone.
Here are a few notable Paracas skulls reported to have a single parietal plate:
Paracas Elongated Skull #44 – This skull, studied by researchers like Brien Foerster, lacks the sagittal suture and has an enlarged single parietal plate.
The Chongos Skull – Found in the Chongos cemetery near Paracas, this skull has a single parietal plate and an unusually large cranial capacity.
The ICA Museum Skull – Housed in the Regional Museum of Ica, this Paracas skull is well-documented for its missing sagittal suture and singular parietal bone.
Paracas Necropolis Skull – Discovered in the Paracas Necropolis, this skull shows distinct anomalies, including a single parietal plate.
The "Starchild-Like" Skull of Paracas – This skull, noted for its elongated shape and singular parietal bone, has been the subject of DNA studies.
