Artificialcranial deformation or Head flattening or head binding is any practiceof intentionally deforming the skull of a human being. It is done bydistorting the normal growth of a child's skull by applying force. Flatshapes, elongated ones (produced by binding between two pieces of wood)rounded ones (binding in cloth) and conical ones are among those chosen.It is typically carried out on an infant, as the skull is most pliableat this time.

Their way of life was unfamiliar tothe Romans, who found it mystifying. A lively, first hand account isdelivered by Pliny the Elder, who writes that the Chauci lived byfishing and hunting.
