“…In Brazil, although historians and cultural anthropologists have been discussing topics related to warfare for decades (e.g., AGNOLIN, 2002;CASTRO, 1986;CUNHA, CASTRO, 1985;FERNANDES, 1963FERNANDES, , 1970LIMA, 2009;MANO, 2009;YAMAUTI, 2006), archaeologists have not paid enough attention to the topic of warfare in general, despite some notable exceptions (e.g., GRILLO, 2009;LESSA, SOUZA, 2009;LINO, FUNARI, 2013;LINO, SYMONDS, 2021, OLIVEIRA et al, 2017. For instance, Buarque (2010) and Prous (2005) suggest that there are a small number of iconographic depictions of human bodies in ceramic plates recovered in Tupinambá archaeological contexts.…”
