Sumario: This article examines the patterns and prevalence of trauma in 256 Late Lima individuals. is assemblage of human remains comes from the sites of Huaca 20 and Copacabana and was compared to 45 Middle Lima individuals from thesite of Cerro Culebra, as well as 30 individuals from the Middle Horizon 2 and 4 (Miramar). Other investigators have proposed that social and political changes during the transition into the Middle Horizon on the Central Coast of Perumight have caused an increase in episodes of violence in the local population. e results of this investigation, however, show that this transition witnessed a reduction in of non-lethal episodes of violence, especially for women, with occasional episodes of more violent and lethal clashes. is situation seems to have been maintained with the consolidation of Wari imperial presence (or inuence). ese observations for the Central Coast contrast heavily with those made for patterns of violence in the South Coast and Highlands during the same period. It is thus proposed that Wari presence in peripheral zones did not always trigger the same social consequences, possibly as the result of distinct political strategies of expansion utilized by the Wari state.
