Building on the notion that human remains provide a window into the
past, especially regarding identity, the contributors to this
volume reflect on intentional and ritualized practices of
manipulating the human head within ancient societies. They reveal
whose skulls and heads were collected and why, whether as ancestors
or enemies, as insiders or outsiders, as males, females, or
children. Featuring a wealth of case studies from scholars across
the globe, these essays explore the human head's symbolic role in
political, social, economic, and religious ritual over the
centuries.
