Description:	Bioarchaeology provides a more nuanced lens through which to examine the effects of warfare on life, morbidity, and mortality, bringing individuals not traditionally considered by studies of warfare and prolonged violence into focus. Inclusion of these groups in discussions of warfare can increase our understanding of not only the biological but also the social meaning and costs of warfare. The case studies here demonstrate that during periods of violence and warfare, many suffer beyond those individuals directly involved in battle. From pre-Hispanic Peru to the Greater Southwest to the Civil War-era United States to the present, warfare has been and is a public health disaster, particularly for women and children
