The evidence found here matches many of the criteria Turner listed as evidence for cannibalism. The combination of cut marks, lack of respect and proper burial, distinct burning patterns, and disarticulation of remains all point to deliberate processing and consumption of the bodies. The lack of canine tooth marks and the “the light color and excellent surface condition of the bones” indicates that the meat was removed through stewing and boiling and was not scavenged by wild animals after death.

After conducting blood residue analysis on several of the tools, two sharp cutting flakes tested positive for human blood.…

It is relevant to several stage 5-syllabus outcomes (EN5-1A, EN5-3B, EN-4B)(BOSTES, 2012, pp.134-140). However, the first impressions students will receive would be that the skull is a representation of Indigenous people being hunted by colonials. Indeed, as the story continues, the issue is not about the death of an Indigenous person but the disrespect for the land as well as values that people uphold.
