Brainstorm

Potential areas of focus:

 * Castro or Gallaeci culture (circa. 9th Century BC)
 * Germanic Tribes (Franks, Goths, etc.)
 * Scythia (circa. 600 BC )
 * Atlantic Bronze Age( circa. 1300 BC)
 * Slavic cultures leading up to the Kievan Rus' (timeline varies)

Potential topics:

 * Weapons of War
 * Methods of waging war
 * Battlefield Strategies
 * Offensive capabilities
 * Defensive capabilities
 * Stronghold designs and methods of fending off competing civilizations (i.e. Romanization)
 * Motivations for waging war
 * Conflictual interactions whether on an internal or external scale

As of this moment, the members of my group have reached a consensus to focus on the Castro or Gallaeci culture, an early Celtic culture that existed during the 9th century BC on the northern portion of the Iberian Peninsula. I plan on discussing how warfare, or lack of warfare, influenced the lives of the people and culture in regards to their architectural choices, armaments, social relations both internal and external, wartime capabilities or motivations for engaging in a conflict.
