| Description | The study presents the results of a revisory study of nine early medieval swords and their parts from Pohansko near Břeclav. The find assemblage is composed of both old and new unpublished finds. The study contains a description of the archaeological context in which the swords were discovered and a detailed typological-metallographic analysis. The swords are precisely dated using stratigraphic and radiocarbon methods, which make it possible to place them in the broader context of the European-wide development of early medieval swords. The study also brings new impulses to the discussion on the social standing of the sword-users based on the application of the sociological concepts of Pierre Bourdieu. |
