Sacrifice is not simply an expression of religious beliefs. Its
highly symbolic nature lends itself to various kinds of
manipulation by those carrying it out, who may use the ritual in
maintaining and negotiating power and identity in carefully staged
'performances'. This Element will examine some of the many
different types of sacrifice and ritual killing of human beings
through history, from Bronze Age China and the Near East to
Mesoamerica to Northern Europe. The focus is on the archaeology of
human sacrifice, but where available, textual and iconographic
sources provide valuable complements to the interpretation of the
material.
