The northern and north-western peripheries of Mycenaean culture, including areas in northern Greece, Albania, and to lesser extent north Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia, present a complex and diverse archaeological landscape. This diversity arises primarily from three factors: the local cultural distinctions of middle and late Bronze Age societies in this region, the extent of interaction with Aegean cultures in specific areas, and the varying levels and scope of archaeological research undertaken there. This article seeks to detail the distribution and features of Aegean swords and daggers found in mentioned regions. These artefacts will be examined within the wider context of Aegean, especially Mycenaean, influence in this area. It will help demonstrate trends in different parts of the designated research area, related to local responses to Aegean influences.
