The earliest evidence for violence in the Desert West is found in early irrigation communities strewn across the Sonoran Desert (circa 2,000-4,000 years ago) and takes a variety of forms. Blunt-force and projectile trauma from clubs and darts, broken and callused bones, and irreverent interments are evident in people’s remains. Dr. Watson will consider the causes of this violence, which apparently ceased as this volatile period drew to a close some 2,000 years ago.
