Default 3000-year-old toolkit suggests skilled warriors crossed Europe to fight an epic battle

3000-year-old toolkit suggests skilled warriors crossed Europe to fight an epic battle


Oct 15, 2019

Bronze Age Europe was a violent place. But only recently have scientists uncovered the scope of the violence, at a 3000-year-old site in northern Germany, where thousands of well-armed young men fought with sophisticated weapons in what appears to be an epic battle. Now, a bagful of bronze artifacts and tools found at the bottom of the river in the middle of the battlefield suggests that some of these warriors traveled from hundreds of kilometers away to fight. That suggests that northern European societies were organized on such a large scale that leaders could call warriors to distant battlefields, long before modern communication systems and roads.
