They seems to be unproportional for typical humans.
No during the time period this was normal humans have gained inches over the generations. They average was indeed 4-5 feet tall during this time period and even leading up into the revolutionary war in the Americas, where it was heavily noted that the americans were about half a foot taller than the british due to diet, as we have ventured into the modern diet our heights have since increased, the average ranging from anywhere between 5-6 depending on where you are, where you grow up and the food in these areas
Not true, iron age tribesmen in Europe were only marginally shorter than modern Europeans. Average height dropped as grain products replaced meat as the staple food, and stayed low until the 20th century.
