Let me be the first to offer a Triumph army list for these early homo sapiens living and warring in the Nile River valley well before12000 BC.

1x Raider (chieftain and biggest/baddest/bravest chief wanna-be's)
7-12 Light Foot (hunter gatherers with stone-tipped spears and daggers, or clubs)
2-4 Skirmishers (the young, old, lame and fearful who are able to throw stones from a distance but not inclined to personal combat)
8-14 Hordes (women and children fighting for survival with rocks and sticks)

Camp suggestions: Cave. Raquel Welch in leopard-skin bathing suit.
Triumph Fantasy additions: pack of dogs, mastodon cavalry, giant Nile crocodiles

Nice, Chris! Do you have figure suggestions? What about Hero figures?

As a very minor quibble, consider Rabble instead of Skirmisher -- looking at the descriptions you gave, Rabble seems more in tune with the way you spoke of them.

Some very interesting results in that article. For example, it doesn't seem like there was significant gender bias in the injuries, including healed PIM, which means both genders would participate in the raids or skirmishes that created them.

Weapons seem to have been mostly light arrows, heavy arrows, and spears, with some ulnar defensive injuries that indicate bashing weapons of some sort as well. No shields -- you don't get an ulnar defensive injury if you have a shield instead of your arm to put between the enemy weapon and your face.
