Battles may be small scale, only involving a handful of individuals, perhaps two squads, up to battles on army levels where hundreds of thousands may be engaged in a single battle at one time.
A "battle of annihilation" is one in which the defeated party is destroyed in the field, such as the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile.
A "decisive battle" is one of particular importance; often by bringing hostilities to an end, such as the Battle of Hastings, or as a turning point in the fortunes of the belligerents, such as the Battle of Stalingrad.

The region is replete with such relics (the "Venus of Vestonice" dating to 22-24,000 years before present), pointing at an abundant and thriving culture.
Most battles ended without a clear winner: if neither side had left the battleground before dusk, fighting was put off and in many cases leaders' and soldiers' nerves decided whether one of the sides would withdraw.

In one, two young men and a young woman were buried together, while in the other as many as eighteen individ­uals had been buried in a large pit covered by mammoth bones and limestone slabs.
In addition, sometimes the male figures have what are either sticks or blood coming out of their noses, much as the noses of San trance dancers drip blood at the height of their dance when they finally enter into a trance state.

 Sexual Paradox: The Fall
Lerner notes that, as we have seen (p 143), such ethnographic evidence, as is held up, turns out to be evidence not for a dominant ‘matriarchy’, but ‘matriliny’ and ‘matrilocality’ in which, while women do have participatory power, many or most of the economic and family decisions are made by male relatives.
It is significant at Dolni Vestonice that a prominent aspect of what is presumed to be an active mammoth-hunting camp site is a hearth with both a female fertility figure, figures of the hunt and a carefully sculpted female head possibly of the partly disfigured women whose skeleton lies nearby.
This transition is also frequently accompanied by a shift in the emphasis of creation from natural to cultural in mental creations and written language, in the form of the ‘word of god’ in what Lerner (R390 151) calls the ‘symbolification of creation’, or in a creation by breath or by naming, rather than birth.
