Bronze Age Battlefield Found? (About)

Archaeologists may have found evidence of the earliest known battlefield in
European history. A study published in Antiquity takes a look at excavations
in the Tollense Valley in Germany, where roughly a hundred bodies have been
found. Signs of a violent death are common among the remains, and there is
little to suggest the bodies had a formal burial (the BBC has a picture of one
of the skulls). Although we have remains showing signs of violence that date
before the Tollense skeletons (from c. 1200 BC), this looks like it might be
the earliest known battlefield in Europe.
