During a conference of paleopathologists held in Berlin, a researcher presented information about a very unusual skeleton. These remains were discovered many years ago on the territory of Scotland.
This person had a large number of fractures. The nature of these injuries allowed specialists to suggest that in the 14th century AD, he might have died as a result of a shot from a trebuchet, which is a type of siege throwing machine.
The results of this scientific analysis were published by Live Science.
