Ancient communities living along Peru's northern coast experienced devastating floods, food shortages and periods of mass human sacrifice, yet everyday violence remained remarkably uncommon. A new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology, also reported by science platforms Phys dot org and Scimex, has found that only a small fraction of people living in the Lambayeque Valley showed physical evidence of interpersonal violence over more than 3,000 years.
