Spanish Falcata sword - Woerden - Netherlands
#48
Well. Scientif research is a hard and time consuming work and can't be made in a few minits and searching pictures by google or so.

The identification and correct valoration of a piece includes a lot of parameters like context, direct observation of the thing, and a guest for paralels (pieces similar to the one studied).

Some people try sometimes to put a personal opinion, based in bad researched or vague arguments, and called it "scientific investigation".

Military archeology and military re-enactment consist in make a good research of the disposable evidence, inside a particular context (cronology, geographic zone, etc...), and sometimes try to fill the holes of evidence with logicall theories.

That good research must includes the critic study, not always asumption, of the previous work. Sometimes, the wrong thing is ignore that work...
