Talk:Cawood sword

I don't know why this has its own page. Sure, it is "outstandingly important", but only in context, and the context is a highly specific topic of 12th century development of sword morphology in Europe. So it should be part of a discussion on that topic, and not a "random artefact" article. --dab (𒁳) 13:37, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

I think it now turns out that the topic is indeed of sufficient importance for a separate discussion, but the topic is not "the Cawood sword", but "type XII swords with type M pommel", a group of about eight swords, which seem to be very important for the absolute chronology of medieval swords in general (i.e. their being re-dated from c. 1300 to c. 1100 has enormous consequences for the dating of pretty much all high medieval swords). --dab (𒁳) 14:51, 24 September 2015 (UTC)


 * There is additional material available to discuss 'The Cawood Sword' as a standalone topic. Its in the Yorkshire Museum and several of the other "Star objects" have unique pages. I'm COI so don't want to rewrite the page, but there is useful secondary sources that can be found:
