English summary: Excavations in the 1930s and 1950s positioned the tell-settlement Bubanj near Nis (Serbia) as a key site in the prehistoric Balkans. This publication presents the results of the recent excavations in the eastern plateau (2008-2014) and guides the reader through important data on the life of prehistoric communities in the Central Balkans and the Morava Region during the Eneolithic and the Bronze Age. The well-known ‘Bubanj-Hum Group’ of the central Balkans is embedded in a broad cultural horizon, which is discussed in this volume in many aspects. Interdisciplinary analyses and interpretations complement the image of everyday life in the region between the mid-5th and the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC.

Free Download Brian Delf, "Bronze Age War Chariots"
English | 2006 | pages: 51 | ISBN: 1841769444 | PDF | 14,2 mb
Chariots, the first mobile fighting vehicle, seem to have originated in Mesopotamia in the third millennium BC. The highly mobile two-wheeled war chariot, carrying a driver and an archer armed with a short composite bow, revolutionized military tactics after 1700 BC. This expensive weapon spread throughout the Middle East and is thought to have reached Egypt with the conquering Hyksos. It spread into Asia Minor, Greece, and was known in Northern Europe by 1500 BC. This book covers the evolution of the war chariot throughout the Bronze Age, detailing its design, development and combat history – in particular its fundamental involvement at the battle of Qadesh.

While the Bronze Age is recognized as one of history’s most important phases, it’s been hard for historians to precisely date. The idea of the Bronze Age comes from a three-age system developed in the 19th century through which archaeologists and historians believe cultures evolved. These three ages are the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, and the concept of the system stems from the simultaneous development of museums in Europe during that time. In the Royal Museum of Nordic Antiquities in Denmark, Christian Jürgensen Thomsen, the director of the museum, began classifying objects of stone, bronze, or iron to better categorize and exhibit them.
Each archaeological artifact was thus sorted according to their materials and further organized by shape and style. Through such methodology, working alongside archaeological reports, he was able to show how certain objects changed over time (Fagan 1996, 712).
