Blade 36 inches long, sword
is 44 inches overall.
“This
style of sword was in use as early as the 12th century through the early 15th
century. Museum archaeologists have been monitoring the municipal sewer
excavations, documenting the stratigraphy of Aalborg. The sword was found in a
waste layer on top of the street’s oldest paving. Previous findings in that
layer date to the 1300s, which is the basis for the preliminary dating of the
sword.”
