Quote:Regarding your comments about the scabbard construction, you could very well be correct, although my research into this project indicated that the only remains found with these particular scabbards were the bronze front plates, as shown in the second image above, indicating that the remainder of the scabbards must have been organic, hence the leather-covered wooden body with a bronze front plate.
Yeah, I know only front plates are found on that site.
