The main issue of this article is to discuss the history and state of the arts of warfare and violence in prehistoric Europe and present crucial categories of archaeological finds related to this kind of past human activity. Organized violence undoubtedly played an important role in the existence of prehistoric people and is also considered as one of the main factors responsible for changes in culture of past societies. Moreover, relatively large number/quantity of archaeological data and a constantly growing number of studies relating to warfare clearly shows, that this interesting issue by no means should be ignored and deserves researchers’ attention.
