The main issue of this paper is to identify men-warriors within the Cracow-Sandomierz Group of Corded Ware culture burials and attempt to reconstruct combat techniques undertaken by them. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive analysis of selected burials has been conducted. These selected burials had to meet strict criteria such as: particular body arrangement, sex, age, and presence of certain grave goods, particularly weapons. The examination of differences within grave goods and relations between their categories, as well as sex, age, and body arrangement of the deceased clearly shows that the Cracow-Sandomierz group of Corded Ware culture encompassed a specific pattern of identity strongly related to manhood, possession of arms and, most likely, armed combat.

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.

The problem of origins of violence in prehistory still raises many controversies among scholars representing nearly all branches of social sciences. The large number of existing interpretations only complicates the current state of research. This paper’s aim is to present and briefly discuss two main theoretical approaches to the problem, along with an attempt to evaluate them using archaeological record representing the earliest material evidence for small-scale organized warfare.

The paper’s main aim is to outline the problem of polarisation of contemporary discussion concerning the concept of origins of warfare. Basically, two leading trends can be distinguished: the first one accentuates the biological basis of human violence and places its origins deep into our evolutionary past. The second one recognises conflict as a relatively late and typically cultural phenomenon in human prehistory, which cannot be interpreted in terms of natural selection and evolution. The existence of a sharp ideological border between ‘hawks’ and ‘doves’ enables a comparison of both perspectives and facilitates the analysis of internal dynamics of their development.
