A fully illustrated insight into an innovative recovery programme that supported wounded soldiers through involvement in archaeology.

This study looks at a variety of evidence for warfare in the Late Bronze Age in North Europe: from revealing the evidence from actual combat damage sustained or caused by some of the artifacts in the archaeological record, to the exploration of the meaning of hillforts. In the end a convincing general picture of the existence and types of warfare emerges.

Using the surviving evidence of conflict and battle - fortifications, weapons and armour, burials and human remains - this study offers an insight into war and society in Europe during the Bronze Age. The authors seek to understand the role played by aggression and war the prehistoric world.
