Bronze Age bowl barrow on Upper Hollesley Common, Suffolk. These are the most numerous type of round barrow and up to 10,000 recorded nationally and no doubt many more lost. This area is rich in archaeological remains, with the famous Sutton Hoo nearby and several other bowl barrows. Not to mention the UFO’s in Rendlesham Forest. #history #bronzeage #archeology

Up until the beginning of the #BronzeAge, there were not weapons which were significantly better than the ordinary hunting kit that anyone could have and anyone could make. Consequently, warrior elites, and with them, highly stratified societies, couldn't emerge, I believe.
Bronze isn't native to the Mediterranean where our idea of Europe originates; the nearest sources of tin were Afghanistan and Cornwall. So bronze was brought in by warrior groups coming in from the Eurasian steppe.
