Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

The invention of metal weapons irrevocably changed prehistoric societies in Europe. The weapons of the hunter that could be used against man or beast were supplanted by those of the warrior – tools with a primary purpose of inflicting physical harm on other humans. This led to changes in the manner in which combat could take place, which in turn changed how communities organised themselves for war...
