Mention of alternative hypotheses ?
It might be useful to detailed such hypotheses as done in the German page. "6	Deutungungen und Hypothesen der Ereignisse im Tollensetal 6.1	Hypothese des Kampfes regionsferner Gruppen 6.2	Hypothese des Kampfes um Handelswege" --Japarthur (talk) 08:34, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Not a battle?
Latest interpretation is doubting the battle hypothesis. ''Jantzen also sees the number of participants in the conflict less today than it was years ago, when it was assumed that thousands of warriors collided. “I’m not repeating the number,” he said. More than 12,000 human bones were recovered and about 140 individuals examined by anthropologists. Most of them died of stab wounds and cuts, and some arrowheads were still stuck in the bones.''

''Jantzen assumes that the majority of those found were among the defeated. The victors would probably have taken their dead and buried them. However, no Bronze Age graves were found on the surrounding areas. The victims were looted and left lying. Another indication that it was not a cavalry battle is the texture of the horse bones. The investigations would have shown that the horses were actually not old enough to ride. They could have been carried as a trade item.''

Where did the Urnfield info come from?
The info box has both Nordic Bronze Age and Urnfield cultures mentioned on one side. The article from what I can see mainly talks about Nordic Bronze Age and not Urnfield. Am I wrong?Kennet Mattfolk (talk) 22:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
