The Bronze Age Combat Project aims to investigate the problem through a combination of wear analysis of prehistoric swords, spears, and shields from various UK museum collections and through extensive, rigorous field tests with purpose-built replica weapons. The chapter discusses the multidisciplinary research approach devised by the team. The focus is on the development of our research methodology and experiments. We review our experimental methodology in the light of previous tests with replica weapons and highlight the advantages and shortcomings of our own approach to weapon testing."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/978-3-319-78828-9_13"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/64890"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.publisher.place","Cham"],["dc.relation.eisbn","978-3-319-78828-9"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-3-319-78827-2"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Prehistoric Warfare and Violence.

The project investigated the uses of Bronze Age swords, shields, and spears by combining integrated experimental archaeology and metalwork wear analysis. The research is grounded in an explicit and replicable methodology providing a blueprint for future experimentation with, and wear analysis of, prehistoric copper-alloy weapons. We present a four-step experimental methodology including both controlled and actualistic experiments. The experimental results informed the wear analysis of 110 Middle and Late Bronze Age swords from Britain and Italy. The research has generated new understandings of prehistoric combat, including diagnostic and undiagnostic combat marks and how to interpret them; how to hold and use a Bronze Age sword; the degree of skill and training required for proficient combat; the realities of Bronze Age swordplay including the frequency of blade-on-blade contact; the body parts and areas targeted by prehistoric sword fencers; and the evolution of fighting styles in Britain and Italy from the late 2nd to the early 1st millennia BC."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10816-020-09451-0"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/64889"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","1573-7764"],["dc.relation.issn","1072-5369"],["dc.title","Bronze Age Swordsmanship: New Insights from Experiments and Wear Analysis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
