Les sacrifices humains rituels ont existé dans toutes les civilisations du passé. Ces rites n'ont plus cours mais le sacrifice humain a-t-il pour autant disparu ? Comment en effet analyser d'un point de vue anthropologique, la répression et la prédation exercées de tout temps à l'encontre des peuples, par les "élites" aux commandes, à l'aide de différents moyens selon le type de société ? A partir de faits historiques recensés dans divers pays, et s'appuyant sur de nombreux travaux de recherche, cet essai tente d'élucider les mécanismes à l'œuvre.

Sacrifice is not simply an expression of religious beliefs. Its highly symbolic nature lends itself to various kinds of manipulation by those carrying it out, who may use the ritual in maintaining and negotiating power and identity in carefully staged 'performances'. This Element will examine some of the many different types of sacrifice and ritual killing of human beings through history, from Bronze Age China and the Near East to Mesoamerica to Northern Europe. The focus is on the archaeology of human sacrifice, but where available, textual and iconographic sources provide valuable complements to the interpretation of the material.
