Abstract

Bronze weapons from the cemetery of al-Nasim in the oasis of Tayma, can be paralleled with late 3rd/early 2nd millennium BCE specimens from so-called warrior graves in the Levant. Long-lasting cultural and technological transfer have played a decisive role for the wide distribution of related social practices.
