The remains of past people are a testament to their lived
experiences and of the environment in which they lived.
Synthesising the latest research, this book critically examines the
sources of evidence used to understand and interpret violence in
bioarchaeology, exploring the significant light such evidence can
shed on past hierarchies, gender roles and life courses. The text
draws on a diverse range of social and clinical science research to
investigate violence and trauma in the archaeological record,
focussing on human remains. It examines injury patterns in
different groups as well as the biological, psychological and
cultural factors that make us behave violently, how our living
environment influences injury and violence, the models used to
identify and interpret violence in the past, and how violence is
used as a social tool. Drawing on a range of case studies, Redfern
explores new research directions that will contribute to nuanced
interpretations of past lives.
