Produktbeschreibung
Tobias Mörtz systematically presents a specific group of these so-called hoards and discusses their interpretation in a wider cultural-scientific context. Based on his own investigations of the original artefacts, traces of wear and damage are identified on spearheads and swords from Britain, France and Ireland, indicating their use during violent conflicts and subsequent deliberate destruction by bending, breaking, crushing, and burning. The final concealment in wetlands and rivers ruled out a potential retrieval. So, were they sacrifices after warlike events? What role did violence play in the Late Bronze Age? Were the rituals also intended to contain it?
