“Gloire immortelle de nos Aïeux” les armes des ancetres dans les agglomerations du sudouest europeen a la fin de l'age du Fer: les exemples de Raso de Candeleda et le Cayla de Mailhac

Abstract

To understand the social interaction in warfare context, and specially claim of warrior ancestors, in this paper, we are going to study remains of anachronistic weapons in two late prehistorical agglomerations in South-Western Europe: Candeleda (Spain, Avila) and Mailhac (France, Aude). Study of discovery contexts is the main point to understand the place took by weaponry in these societies. So we are going to approach the claim of warlordism by the highlighting of ancestors warlords through their weapons.
