| Summary: | Bioarchaeology & forensic anthropology offer unique perspectives on studies of mass violence & present opportunities to interpret human skeletal remains in a broader cultural context. Massacres & other forms of large-scale violence have been documented in many different ancient & modern contexts. Moving the analysis from the victims to the broader political & cultural context necessitates using social theories about the nature of mass violence. Mass violence has a cultural logic of its own that is shaped by social & historical dynamics. Massacres can have varying aims, including subjugation or total eradication of a group based on status, ethnicity, or religion. This edited volume presents case studies that integrate the evidence from human remains within the broader cultural & historical contexts |
