The Wari Empire that thrived in the Peruvian Andes between AD 600 and AD 1000 was one of the first politically centralized civilizations in the New World to expand dramatically as a product of economic and military might. This study of human skeletons reveals the biological and social impact of Wari imperialism on people's lives, particularly its effects on community organization and frequency violence among both ruling elites and subjects. Tiffiny Tung reveals that Wari political and military leaders promoted and valorized aggressive actions, such as the adbuction of men, women, and children from foreign settlements. Captive men and children were sacrificed, dismembered, and transformed into trophy heads, while non-local women received different treatment relative to the men and children. By inspecting bioarchaeological, isotopic, and limited ancient DNA data from skeletons, along with the archaeological evidence, Tung provides a more refined understanding of how Wari imperial policies and practices affected human communities, particularly in terms of age/sex structure, mortuary treatment, use of violence, and ritual processes associated with power and bodies.
