It's more nuanced than that. Mounting a human skull could also mean: here's a graveyard where people have been burried with their most prized possessions. There's a really interesting documentary about Onkalo, a Finnish nuclear waste repository where they talk a bit about this. I think the conclusion they came to was make it look as boring as possible. Or at least more boring than the hassle to get in :-)

It would probably only deter the same people that a skull would with muchless effort than razing the area though why not combine both? Robbers, raiders, and treasure hunters would still go in.
