Quote:Spyros,
Is the sword iron or bronze? I cant tell from the photo. I have a bronze blade, unhilted of a similar shape. Do we have a cronology of sword blades and types from the Archaic?
What is the find site of these items?

Hi Ralph,

The grave is from the Agora area under Acropolis dated around 700Bc. I think that for more information Matthew Amt, Stefanos and Dan Howard should be asked.
