内容説明

Oxbow says: This study re-evaluates many of the misconceptions about the war-crazed Iron Age warrior hero, and questions anew the role of hillforts as truly, or primarily, defensive structures. Taking a regional approach to Middle Iron Age warfare, Finney examines hillforts and weaponry from lowland Britain. Much use is made of ethnographic parallels in placing weaponry in a social context, with case studies from medieval Ireland, Late Geometric/Early Archaic GReece, Early Iron Age Israel and Late Intermediate Peru. Experimental work and mathematical models are devised for the use of the sling and spearhead and a new model for Middle Iron Age warfare is proposed.
