Description

This detailed study of warfare in early Egypt is firmly based on the material evidence of weapons discovered on prehistoric and Early Dynastic sites as well as the earliest images of hunting or warfare. The weapons, which mainly comprise Paleolithic and Neolithic daggers, maces, arrowheads, spears, staffs, clubs and slings, made from stone, flint, wood, bone and ivory, are considered alongside the evidence of human remains with signs of violent injuries. Finally, Gilbert draws conclusions about early Egyptian warrior society, warfare and hunting rituals and the role of warfare in Egyptian state formation. Includes a corpus of weapons.
