Bioarchaeology of the Human Head: Decapitation, Decoration, and Deformation - Bioarchaeological Interpretations of the Human Past
Michelle Bonogofsky
Building on the notion that human remains provide a window into the past, especially regarding identity, the contributors to this volume reflect on intentional and ritualized practices of manipulating the human head within ancient societies. They reveal whose skulls and heads were collected and why, whether as ancestors or enemies, as insiders or outsiders, as males, females, or children.
