​Skulls can be damaged to varying degrees. This can be caused during burial, from disease or excavation. Simple methods are generally used to allow the skulls to be photographed as accurately as possible without causing any more damage, the process is similar to doing a jigsaw puzzle. Masking tape is still the material of choice for most repairs as it can be easily applied and removed without leaving residue.
