Near east bronze age weapons

Hello

I would like to know about website, books or other resources on weapons in the bronze age of the near east, especially the measurements of these weapons.
I have a history book with many details and photos of antique bronze age weapons from the near east, but sadly the measurements of these weapons are missing in this book.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

The best source I know is a fantastic book by M.V.Gorelik "Weapons of the Ancient East" published by Atlant http://www.atlant-tpg.ru/aka.html
It is by far the best source on ancient Central Asian weapons and their counterparts and analogues from China to Mesopotamia.
There is a hooker: the book is in Russian.
