I've been thinking about the Tollense valley battle of late.
It really looks like a native TL0 area had some imported TL1 weapons, but that's not what stands out.
TL0 is stone age.
Cavemen.
American Indians.
My research into Neanderthals and the Sioux put some blinders on with regards to another aspect implicated in Tollense.
Culture.
It appears that the culture of the area was more similar to what would later be called Gauls.
More emphasis on agriculture and domesticated animals than the two stone-age cultures I've been dealing with.
In the real world, the tech level doesn't just change one night. Some things advance faster than others and wool is a TL0 fabric. Lacking domesticated sheep, the Sioux never developed wool clothing. Prehistoric Germany did.
It's really made me want to make a TL0+1 fantasy setting where the native TL is 0 but TL 1 equipment is available at double price.
