Warfare and, by extension, the peace that follows it, are extensively interwoven into the majority of cultures in both the past and present. Due to the continued prominence of conflict within human history, archaeologists have often encountered a need to understand these cultural clashes. The 2012 conference discussed the topic of conflict in all its forms using an interdisciplinary and global perspective and the papers in these proceedings reflect that diversity.enAttribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 InternationalArchaeologyWarfarePeaceConflict ResolutionCultural HeritageViolencebook10.11575/PRISM/10232
