ST-Bioarchaeology of Violence

Bioarchaeology is the collaborative study of biological human remains in context. Biological remains uncovered from archaeological sites facilitate the interpretation of lifetime events. Age, sex, stature, disease, injury, violent death, physical activity, dental health and tooth use, diet and nutritional status, pregnancy and birth, and mortuary behavior are but a small sampling of the kinds of information that can be gleaned. The study of violence has often been conducted with little or no consideration for the specific and often unique cultural meanings associated with it.
