Troubled times : violence and warfare in the past

Twelve contributors offer critical evaluations of evidence of violence in various societies from prehistoric times through the early centuries of this millennium. The evidence is drawn from skeletal remains, ethnographic accounts, and archaeological records. The authors attempt to integrate biological and archaeological data, and to document the violence rather than theorize about its causes. The editors provide numerous bandw photos and line drawings of osteological evidence. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
