Abstract:
The paper synthesises the metallographic data obtained from the analysis of iron knives recovered from both settlement and cemetery sites of early medieval date, c. AD 400--900, with the aim of reviewing the technology used in the manufacture of these knives. Data from seventy-nine knives has shown some clear differences in the manufacture of knives found in cemeteries compared with those found at settlement sites. Most of all, the data demonstrates the paucity of archaeometallurgical investigations of this vital commodity, and the importance of reviewing and re-assessing past studies.
