Yes, literally speaking, from the condition of that skull.
I am wondering if there is any evidence of bronze weapons, since the title of the article says "Early Bronze Age battle site found." Perhaps the participants in this battle were not familiar with bronze, being far from the center of civilized development, namely the near East and the eastern Mediterranian. Sounds like a fairly small, local battle.
I would love to find a good historical novel dealing with this period. (I am currently reading, The Skystone, an historical novel dealing with the end of Roman occupation of England and the ensuing invasions, and a plausible explanation of the Arthurian legends. Author is Jack Whyte, and I highly recommend it.
Is there a 'historical novel' ping list?
The article says nothing of bronze weapons but of bronze pins of Silesian design.

Not that I know. You'd have to do some searches to get an idea of what literature ping lists there might be.
