Warfare in Bronze Age Society takes a fresh look at warfare and its
role in reshaping Bronze Age society. The Bronze Age represents the
global emergence of a militarized society with a martial culture,
materialized in a package of new efficient weapons that remained in
use for millennia to come. Warfare became institutionalized and
professionalized during the Bronze Age, and a new class of warriors
made their appearance. Evidence for this development is reflected
in the ostentatious display of weapons in burials and hoards, and
in iconography, from rock art to palace frescoes. These new
manifestations of martial culture constructed the warrior as a
'Hero' and warfare as 'Heroic'. The case studies, written by an
international team of scholars, discuss these and other new aspects
of Bronze Age warfare. Moreover, the essays show that warriors also
facilitated mobility and innovation as new weapons would have
quickly spread from the Mediterranean to northern Europe.
