Bestimmungsbuch Archäologie Volume 6.
As offensive weapons, daggers and swords are primarily characterized by their fighting style. But they were also always status symbols. Elaborately designed with precious materials, they represented the self-image of warriors and army commanders. This is demonstrated by Neolithic fishtail daggers of outstanding craftsmanship as well as magnificently decorated Frankish gold-handled spathes.
Volume 6 of the successful series is dedicated for the first time to one type of weapon and presents a cross-epochal classification of "daggers and swords". The spectrum ranges from Neolithic flint daggers to Viking iron swords from the period around 1000, and for the first time prehistoric, Roman and early medieval forms are brought together in a common classification.
