Recent work has advanced our understanding of human crania found in London's upper Walbrook valley, where skull deposition appears to have peaked during the occupation of the Cripplegate fort, itself ...probably built soon after London's Hadrianic fire. Although this fire is usually considered to have been accidental, parallels can be drawn with London's Boudican destruction. This article explores the possibility that these three strands of Hadrianic evidence — fire, fort and skulls — find common explanation in events associated with a British war of this period. This might support the identification of some Walbrook skulls as trophy heads, disposed as noxii in wet places in the urban pomerium.

This article looks at the diverse and rich representations of headhunting in north–east India, especially in the European translations of this tribal practice into ethnographic ‘writings’ during the ...late imperial age. Colonial concern and anxiety to ‘civilise’ the headhunter and ‘control’ this ‘savage’ practice in the hills is characterised by inner contradictions at every level of its articulation and operation. Headhunting is a history, a heritage, a rhetorical trope, a discursive practice, a philosophy, a returning gaze from the ‘other’, and a space for contesting masculinity. Moreover, it is a textual ‘record’ of colonial knowledge about vanishing societies for the benefit of the human sciences as well as frontier administrators in the region. But the vanishing object of salvage ethno–graphy itself appears to be a colonial construct of the anthropologising world and its legitimising representational practice. Headhunting is often neither the subject nor the object of study: it is a prolific site of discourse where the coloniser, the ethnographer, and even the local people engage in representing and translating the ‘other’ as well as them–selves, with diverse intentions.
For the Asmat people in West Papua, artefacts and body decoration are created for both aesthetic and spiritual purposes. Craftspeople add sacred components to comply with their ancestors' ...expectations, which are perceptible to their descendants. Body decoration acts on the self, affecting mood and health.

as if they hoped to capture the aura of the pre-contact Asmat. The most sought-after objects bear an ancestor's name and were involved in head-hunting or cannibalism. This article concerns some of the imagined contents of Asmat artefacts and how their status changes from the time they are made until their integration into Western collections, particularly those of Dutch and German collectors I interviewed in 2003 and 2004.
The practices of head-hunting in Southeast Asia share certain formal features but the indigenous explanations of the phenomenon are very diverse. The article explores a set of ideas behind this ...apparent heterogeneity. The case of Siberut in the Mentawai Archipelago is described in some detail and compared with occurrences in related cultures. The sacrificial character of head-hunting and its relationship to autochthonous powers prove to be common key concepts.

R. A. Drake in Oceania (59: 269-79) analyzed rumor panics in Borneo about the purported need for children's heads in concrete construction initiated by the state, as a form of ideological warfare. ...These rumors are ways of dealing with ambiguous situations and expressions of anxiety. The plausibility of these rumors, he argues, lies in the experience that tribal Borneo has had with state governments, most particularly during colonial times when head-hunting activities were suppressed The present article looks at a similar rumor complex found in the district of Manggarai in Western Flores within a different cultural and historical context. Manggarai rumor panics center on European missionaries who have been in their region since the beginning of the century and who have been responsible for most of the concrete construction there. This rumor expresses the Manggarai's ambivalence towards foreigners which may be particularly understood, also, in light of their experience with slave-raiders up to the beginning of this century.
