Traces of Armed Conflict
PhD project by Felix Engel
Abstract
Violence and warfare are popular fields of research in archaeology and other disciplines investigating prehistoric remains. Some sites yield striking evidence for violent behaviour on various scales. But their significance at the time is difficult to estimate, given the scarcity of information. This project evaluates to what extent the prevalence of armed conflict in prehistoric societies can be inferred from burial grounds that are not specifically known as sites of violence. Limits and opportunities in these lines of research are discussed, focussing on the Early-medieval cemetery of Lauchheim-Wasserfurche (Germany) as an examplary case study.
