Abstract
It has recently been proposed that bilateral scapular fracture in archaeological populations may be an indicator of assault by beating (Blondiaux et al., 2012). This proposal, whilst plausible, lacked empirical support. This article provides some empirical evidence in support of this suggestion. It describes a case of bilateral scapular fracture in a Mediaeval burial where there is independent evidence that the individual suffered beating by a mob.
