As the archaeological record clearly shows, this has always been true. What is its origin? What role does it play in shaping our behavior? How do ritual acts and cultural sanctions make violence acceptable? These and other questions are addressed by the contributors to The Bioarchaeology of Violence. Organized thematically, the volume opens by laying the groundwork for new theoretical approaches that move beyond interpretation; it then examines case studies from small-scale conflict to warfare to ritualized violence. Experts on a wide range of ancient societies highlight the meaning and motivation of past uses of violence, revealing how violence often plays an important role in maintaining and suppressing the challenges to the status quo, and how it is frequently a performance meant to be witnessed by others. The interesting and nuanced insights offered in this volume explore both the costs and the benefits of violence throughout human prehistory."--Publisher's website.Bioarchaeological interpretations of the human past.Human remains (Archaeology)ViolenceHistoryWounds and injuriesHistorySocial archaeologyRites and ceremoniesWar and societyHistoryPrehistoric peoplesElectronic books.Human remains (Archaeology)ViolenceHistory.Wounds and injuriesHistory.Social archaeology.Rites and ceremonies.War and societyHistory.Prehistoric peoples.930.1Martin Debra L965638Harrod Ryan P921526Pérez Ventura R965639MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462181103321The bioarchaeology of violence2190961UNINA
