2012
Overview
Violent interactions have three distinct actors: aggressors, victims and witnesses. Social identities of individuals within these groups are created and enforced through performative violence such as hobbling or torture. The Sacred Ridge site is a Pueblo I (AD 700–900) habitation site in Southwestern Colorado; during excavation, an assemblage consisting of 14,882 bone fragments representing at least 33 individuals was discovered. Perimortem trauma and tool marks indicate heavy processing of all individuals; the remains were deposited completely commingled within a pit structure. Foot and ankle bones from the Sacred Ridge processed assemblage have damage suggesting hobbling by blows to the sides of the ankle and torture by beating the soles and tops of the feet. These performative acts form the basis for social control of victims and witnesses by aggressors. Taphonomic analysis of human remains can be used to examine behaviors of each group creating the assemblage. Existen tres tipos diferentes de actores en las interacciones violentas: los agresores, las víctimas y los testigos. La identidad social de cada individuo perteneciente a estos grupos se crea y refuerza a través de la violencia conductual en casos como la paralización y la tortura; durante las excavaciones llevadas a cabo en la zona de Sacred Ridge, al suroeste de Colorado, durante la época de Pueblo I (700–900 a.C.), se halló un conjunto de 14.882 fragmentos de hueso pertenecientes a 33 individuos. Los traumatismos y las marcas dejadas por determinados instrumentos en el momento de la muerte indican que se sometió a los individuos a un proceso de manipulación complicado. Los restos de los cuerpos desmembrados se depositaron mezclados en una fosa común. Los huesos del tobillo y de los pies que se han procesado muestran heridas que sugieren que se paralizó a los individuos golpeándoles en los tobillos y que se les torturó, además, atizándoles en las plantas y en los empeines de los pies. Estas acciones conductuales son la base del control ejercido por los agresores contras las víctimas y los testigos. El análisis tafonómico de los restos encontrados puede usarse para examinar más detenidamente los comportamientos de cada uno de estos grupos.
