Conclusions
Abstract
This volume categorically rejects any argument that presents the taking of human body parts as trophies as being evidence of wanton savagery or barbarism. Instead, this work contextualizes such activities within the greater cultural milieu of the peoples discussed and thus provides insight into the reasons behind why various human body parts were taken and subsequently displayed publicly by indigenous peoples of the Americas.
