Abstract
Bronze Age dirks and rapiers as illustrated by examples from Durham and Northumberland
Colin B Burgess
3 - 26
A new classification scheme for Irish-British dirks and rapiers is based on blade cross-sections rather than on the butt-shapes used by Trump (1962). Four groups are considered under the headings of associations, moulds, Continental evidence and typology. Group I weapons, with ribbed and/or grooved blades, belong mainly to MBA I (Acton Park phase), having developed from Camerton-Snowshill daggers Group II, lozenge-sectioned blades, developed alongside Group I but were more subject to Continental influence. Group III, triple arris blades, include the long, elegant weapons of Ornament Horizon-Taunton-Barton Bendish phase. Group IV blades with flat mid-sections represent the last phase, with some influence from leaf-shaped swords; their main period of use is in the Penard phase (and Wallington in the Highland Zone). Ballintober, Chelsea and Lambeth/Rosnoën swords are distinguished by blade type. Although found on both sides of the Channel, Ballintobers are mainly British, Lambeth/Rosnoën French. Associated dirks and rapiers, and moulds from the British Isles, are listed. The Durham and Northumberland examples are classified by this scheme and discussed against their N English MBA background.
Monolithic tracery in the churches of Northumberland
G W D Briggs
73 - 83
This article classifies the four types of window head containing tracery carved from a single stone. The date range, from mid-13th cent to 15th cent, is not of especial significance. The type of tracery varies from simple intersected bar to quite complicated reticulated work. The width of window opening ranges from 30in to 80in, though mainly below 60in. The distribution of the thirty-five surviving examples is widespread, though concentrated on the centre of the county. In Northumberland almost half the later medieval church tracery may have been monolithic, rather than formed by smaller jointed stones. Explanation is sought partly in the strength of local tradition in masons' skills in a rural area, partly in the predominance of the masons employment upon military building in rough masonry. LASB
