What Is the Symbolism of Heads?

There are plenty of references to heads in the story. The whole facility (temple) has a skull on the top pointing 90 degrees from the runway (why not facing it?). The skull could be the sign of a death facility (biological warfare).
In the ampule/ritual room there is a huge statue of a (human?) head. There also seems to be a figure on the mural lacking a head (hard to tell). Also, the engineer fleeing something and coming too late to the door, loses his head. Finally, David’s head is ripped off by the engineer.
Should this perhaps symbolize mankind losing its head (bringing about our own destruction, like the engineers)?
Deep Space,
Racial sterotyping? You're really from Wales aren't ya (just teasing). I did notice how you left the grouper mouth alone.
