The need to protect one’s property, the urge to claim what belonged to others, and the desire for revenge were part of the emotional background that was predominant in the Iron Age. As communities united into tribes, disagreements came to light, which gave more reasons for artisans to devote a significant part of their efforts to the production of weaponry. Burial monuments of that time hold numerous remains of individuals who were skilled in the use of weapons such as spears, battle-axes, swords or bows. At that time, at least several weapons would be put in the grave of almost every man! For the entire millennium, warriors fought without armour, protecting themselves only with wooden shields, and very few of them covered their heads with iron helmets. Because of that, fights often ended in heavy injuries and death. Yet it must be added that progress was made in medicine as well—scientists know from skeleton analysis that, at that time, people could already heal broken bones and some other injuries.
