So, the violent causes of death where bones were not injured are not assessable, and the incidence of violent deaths is certainly underestimated.Ĭrushed skulls, decapitations, cut wounds in bone, shattered bones, remains of weapons such as arrow heads and or spear heads inside skeletal remains are all assessed as violent deaths. Since ancient remains rarely consist of more than skeletons, soft tissue injuries are not evident. He examines human remains, taking a forensic approach, to try to determine whether violence was the cause of death. The author, Dr Martin Smith, is a Biological Anthropologist with particular interests in prehistoric populations. THE HUMAN SKELETON AS EVIDENCE FOR CONFLICT IN THE PAST
