Sammanfattning

Combat, warfare and conflict have in recent times become a big focus within the study of the Bronze Age yet within Scandinavia this research has primarily been focused on the early periods of the age with comparably little having been written on the Late Bronze Age. This thesis will examine fifteen swords from the period of both local and imported designs from a use-based perspective highlighting regionality, the diversity of useability’s within the different weapon types and the adoption of “foreign” arms. To do this the thesis utilises the developing method of metalwork wear analysis in order to more intimately understand how the swords of the Late Bronze Age’s have been used.
