<strong>THE</strong> <strong>EARLY</strong> IRON <strong>AGE</strong> IX EUROPE. 415<br />
but owing to rust are not so well preserved<br />
in the iron. The<br />
shape of the hilt is very remarkable, as it differs essentially<br />
from that of the usual swords of the Bronze As:e. It takes<br />
the form of a half-moon where it grips the blade. The space<br />
available for the hand-grasp<br />
is 3 3^ in., and it terminates in a<br />
large pommel<br />
either round or oval. There were nine swords<br />
and daggers (of which five were perfect) with blades of iron,<br />
but with bronze hilts ending in luitennae (Fig. 70, nos. 10 14).<br />
This type<br />
is now known in Bavaria, Wilrtemberg, Baden,<br />
Switzerland, the P\renees, Spain, and in Italy at Sesto<br />
Calende, Belluno and Bologna (Anioaldi). It thus extends<br />
from Hallstatt to the Pyrenees and Spain, though<br />
it is not<br />
found furthei- north than Bamberg and (Jarlsruhe*. The grip<br />
of the Bronze Age swords from Mycenae and elsewhere is<br />
usually '2^ 2i in.<br />
One bronze sword (Fig. 70, no. 1) was found in a cremationgrave,<br />
accompanied <strong>by</strong> a celt, ornaments and a bronze dish.<br />
Its blade measures 2 ft. 8 in. in<br />
length. It has a long flat<br />
grip 4 in. long, which ends in a jjommel 2^ in. long. The<br />
hand-grasp is 3j in. in length. The top of the pommel<br />
measures 2^ in. It is ornamented with circk's of dots and<br />
other ge(jmetrical patterns. From the remains found with it<br />
the sword a|)parently had a wooiU-n sca])l)ar(l. There were<br />
several ir*jn swords of the same ty{)('<br />
with grips of ivory or<br />
])roiizc. (Jiic of these was found in a cremation-grave along<br />
with another iron sword, bronze vessels, and ornaments of gold<br />
and bronze. Its blade is about o ft.<br />
long, its is<br />
pommel 4 in.<br />
liigh, the hand-grasp measures in. The ])ommel was adorned<br />
'.]},<br />
with ivoiT and and)fr. Thcro are four rows of zig-zag ornament<br />
oil the neck of the ])oiiim(<br />
1 foiined ])y triangular pieces<br />
of amber. Another iron sword from a creiiiation-graNf has it.-^<br />
hilt decked with i\-ory,<br />
and with double-hatching, which is<br />
pecailiailv coiiiiiioii on Hallstatt objects. .Viiother fimii the<br />
same grave<br />
is '.\'A in. long. l-'ioni another creinat ioii-gra\<br />

came a similar sword oO in. long. There are three iron swords<br />
