Category:Clubs (weapon)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles relating to clubs, among the simplest of all weapons: short staffs or sticks, usually made of wood, wielded as weapons[1] since prehistory. There are several examples of blunt-force trauma caused by clubs in the past, including at the site of Nataruk in Turkana, Kenya, described as the scene of a prehistoric conflict between bands of hunter-gatherers 10,000 years ago.[2] For articles about social groups, see Category:Clubs and societies.
