Abstract: |
Nearly 800 examples are included in the corpus, including strays and classifiable fragments. Large numbers come from rivers, especially the Thames, as deliberate deposits. An outline history of research on swords is given, followed by the catalogue of types from rod-tanged through to antenna swords. The metallurgical appendix examines changes of metal over sword type and over time. Limited experiments suggested three weeks were needed to make a sword. |
