occipitallapper

Occipitallapper is a term used in the field of anthropology and archaeology to describe a type of skullcap or headband that was worn by ancient humans. These items were typically made from materials such as bone, antler, or leather, and were designed to cover the occipital region of the skull, which is the back part of the head. The purpose of the occipitallapper is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have served various functions, including protection, decoration, or possibly even as a form of identification or status symbol. Examples of occipitallappers have been found in archaeological sites dating back to the Paleolithic period, and they provide valuable insights into the cultural practices and beliefs of ancient human societies. The study of occipitallappers contributes to our understanding of human evolution and the development of cultural behaviors.
