Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The authors argue that interpersonal violence is a powerful expression of human social interaction, but that a consideration of violence in the past has done relatively little to inform discussions of the British Neolithic. They present the results of an examination of some 350 earlier Neolithic crania from mainly southern Britain. Of these, thirty-one show healed or unhealed injuries suggestive of interpersonal violence. They suggest a conservative estimate of 2% fatal cranial injuries, and 4 or 5% healed injuries. These data are used as a platform to discuss possible contexts for, and consequences of, violence. They argue that, regardless of its actual prevalence, the reality or the threat of interpersonal violence can have an important affect on both the behaviour of individuals and the structure of society. Includes French, German and Spanish summaries. | |||||
