Dead People??
“We imagined the Bronze Age as a relatively peaceful period, something of a ‘Golden Age.’. . . It was fascinating to realize that this peaceful image clearly wasn’t true, . . .”
This socialistic jerk is trying to apply his ‘modern’ ideology to an ancient society, and when the two don’t line up with each other; he acts surprised.
Humans have been killing each other for as long as we have existed.

1 Samuel 17:4-6
A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels; on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back.
I have never visualized the Bronze Age as a time of peace. The whole point of bronze was to make better tools for agriculture/building, and to make better weapons for war. I have always assumed that war was the major consideration.
Europeans have never stopped fighting until the United States put an end to it.
Watch out for the Belgium’s!
