Redmond is a leading theorist on the rise of chiefdoms and the evolutionary role of warfare. Her extensive excavations in Venezuela and Mexico have revealed ancient towns with defensive features -- palisades, walls, and earthworks. Her analyses of prehistoric warfare and the emergence of hereditary leaders are highly influential. |
