An attempt of interpretation of the defects identified in the woman’s skull from the interment 3, burial mound 45 of Peregruznoe burial ground-I is presented in this work. These defects are unique because it is the first case of drilling type trepanation fixed on the representative of the middle Sarmatians epoch. In order to describe defects methodical recommendation of Russian and foreign scientists were used. Differential exclusion was carried out by means of two dimensional cerebral cranium roentgenography. In order to determine the character of the revealed cerebral cranium defects and to learn if they appeared inter vivos or postmortem forensic medical examination methods and bone mechanical injury grammatology methods were used. Examining the defects and analysis of cases of similar type and synchronous cases of trepanation enables us to suggest that such manipulation with the female cerebral cranium from the 3rd burial mound of the 45th burial ground Peregruznoe I was caused by either by ceremonial or therapeutical actions.
