 -Crickley Hill gives us a completely new picture of the scale of violence in prehistoric Britain. It's really the first time that we see evidence for warfare between sub-communities or even groups of communities on a completely different scale to what went on previously. There is a sense that this was a planned event. Possibly, the preparations went on for months before hand. And this was a very committed action. The defenders included men, women and children. The attackers, however, were probably mostly adult male.Studies of tribal warfare give some idea why the neighbouring clans fought each other.

-There are maybe a series of preceived injustice they built up over generations sometimes. And when things come to a boiling point, the violence, the desperate clan c* the form of trying to actually exterminate their neighbouring clan. You were there be able to take over their resources, to take their land and cattle, perhaps even their women.
400 flint arrow heads found in Crickley Hill revealed how a conflict played out.
-Just vision of arrow heads, it does look like the attackers successfully overwhelmed the defence. Once you are inside, you are in much closer approximation to people, and fighting at that point would become hand-to-hand.
