| Summary: | In this paper we discuss the legitimized ways of " making science " by the academy and, as part of this process, those frames of reference considered valid for inferences in archaeology and bioarchaeology. Based on bioarchaeological violence studies and the interpretations that result from trauma analyses, we question the ways in which these indicators are named and referred to in research, as well as bioarchaeological indicators of conflict are described and quantified. In this sense, we propose the exercise of considering other ontologies of knowledge as theoretical alternatives for the inferences and interpretations of traumatic injuries. Thus, we consider the contributions of philosophical trends such as the ontological turn and the decolonial turn, decentring ourselves from the Western perspective proposed by modern science in order to apprehend the experiences of those who went through these events. |
