Nothing says "evil cannibals" like human skulls on stakes. But did anyone ever actually put human skulls on stakes? Yes! Here, from an 8,000-year-old Mesolithic site in Sweden, are two human skulls mounted on stakes. Fragments of nine other skulls were also found at the site. So now you can include skulls mounted on stakes in your anime/fantasy novel/adventure movie without fear of being called inaccurately sensationalistic.
