Over two decades of research: the study of direct violence from the bioarqueological record
Keywords:
Bioarchaeology, traumatic injury, paleopathology, forensic anthropology, etiologyAbstract
In recent years, the growing interest in the study of trauma associated with violent behaviour in ancient populations has generated a wealth of information that currently allows us to understand the different dynamics of violence in the ancient world. However, the presence of trauma in the bioarchaeological record does not necessarily imply the presence of violence and viceversa, its etiology being complex and sometimes impossible to determine. The intent of this article is to provide an overview of the different mechanisms that could cause trauma and offers some of the best practices for differential diagnosis of these injuries to human bone and dental structures. We are confident that this review will contribute to the understanding of the most recent methods, approaches and interpretations of traumatic injuries.
