- JetAlone 4y agoYou're right to call out an assumption that torture methods always leave behind clear skeletal forensics. I think some of us might have read that into the article. In this case if the article is correct, the wheel did leave clear evidence, which I interpret to suggest that the wheel was less popular than more commonplace methods of torture, or that the wheel was popular and remains are undiscoverable to us today due to "disgraceful burial".
