Abstract
Chapter 4 applies a gendered approach to studying mass violence among the Chachapoya in Peru. While the results of this analysis of the mass death assemblage at Kuelap demonstrates that both adults and subadults were among the victims, they also show a relatively low number of adult females. This suggests that the perpetrators specifically targeted the men and may have abducted the women. This act of violence indicates that the goal of the perpetrators was likely the destruction of this community, specifically the men and children. Thus, the experience of violence among the Chachapoya at this site may have varied based upon gender.
