"Kranium af mand i alderen 35-50 år. Manden er blevet gravlagt i Hulbjerg-jættestuen på Sydlangeland omkring 3000 f. Kr. Mandens kindtænder i højre side har været angrebne af caries og tandrodsbetændelse. En af de smertende tænder har man søgt at behandle/trække ud ved at bore et hul mellem tandrødderne. Hullet er lavet med et drilbor med en lille flintspids. Spor af den roterende borespids ses tydeligt i hullet, der er verdens ældste vidnesbyrd om tandbehandling.
Manens kranium kan ses hos Langeland museum. Fundstedet - Hulbjerg jættestue - tager imod gæster og besøgende hele dagen, hele året.
