  • obviously, hunting equipment was probably used since ice age to raid nearby tribes for slaves/women/tribute, but the bronze sword is very different from spears in purpose, but one can imagine protection requires at least 3 guys outfitted with swords (possibly rotating them), so from settlement of 50 you have to appropriate at least 10% surplus to supply them, while raiding requires at least 5-10, but they can be part-time. so one sword doesn’t do anything for you in both cases, and protection seem much more obviously extractive due to time constrains
