Deformarea artificială a craniului a fost un obicei larg răspândit şi printre mayaşi şi incaşi, precum şi la triburile Chinook din America de Nord.
A koponyatorzítás az amerikai maják, inkák és néhány észak-amerikai törzs, köztük a csinukok körében is elterjedt volt.
Artificial deformation of the skull was also a widespread custom among the Mayans and Incas, as well as among the Chinook tribes of North America.
