Quote:We have to be careful about theorizing on the meaning of weapons in a grave. It may not have had a meaning which makes logical or practical sense to us today.

Couldn't agree more Matthew.

Another thing we need to be really carefull of is the accuracy of sexing techniques. In many cases sexing is a best guess based on certain common features. I'm aware of a number of anglo-saxon female weapon burials that have recently been reclassified as male (or probably male) based on further investigation.
