Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between direct physical violence and social inequality, and the role that culture and environment play within different temporal periods in the region of northeast Thailand. Violence can take on many forms, both physical and non-physical, but usually with the intent to cause harm or to control other individuals or sub-groups. The recent accumulation of studies on aspects of trauma, health, and disease, and social structures, now allow for the creation of a more nuanced interpretation of how violence and social inequality is interpreted between different communities in prehistoric northeast Thailand during the transition from egalitarian Neolithic populations to a period influenced by the formation of early states in the Late Iron Age.
