Very interesting find. Very interesting article. With prospects for gaining much more knowledge as they dig and analyze more of the site.

The prevalence of wooden warclubs as weapons is just what I'd expect from a barely-Bronze-Age society. And lots of flint points. A war-chief mounted on a horse (chariot?) wearing a bronze panoply, wielding a great bronze spear must have been like a tank, invulnerable and terrifying.

My thanks as well. Very interesting article.

Flint arrow heads piercing bone – there must have being some power in those bows.

Very interesting – did not know that the Bronze Ages north of the Rhine were capable of armies that big

The armies were composed of troops from hundreds of kilometers away, so, not locals putting together thousands of men….

Saw this on HN. Great stuff. Really shows how there are whole regions we can still learn a lot about.
