The paper deals with the problem of swords in the West Balt Circle. It has been stated that they lack here almost entirely, with the exception for several swords known. The author opposes such idea, showing new materials proving the usage of swords in the Balt cultural milieu, specifically swords from bog sacrificial sites (Wólka, Czaszkowo) and elements of swords’ scabbards, fittings of baldric belts aimed to hang the scabbard, or sword’s handle fitting discovered in graves without swords themselves. That phenomenon is observed both in the Roman (the Bogaczewo culture and Dollkeim-Kovrovo culture) and Migration Period (the Olsztyn group). It seems to prove that Balts frequently avoided placement of swords in graves what could be expressed by the value of swords (see long usage of broken and then sharpened swords) or ritual matters/beliefs.

The author discusses the development of early thrusting swords in the Bronze Age Aegean (Types A and B) and their Anatolian and Levantine counterparts. Both in the Aegean and the Near East continuous developments produced almost simultaneously similar types of thrusting sword, but there is no reason to assume that the Anatolian or Levantine types had any appreciable influence in the Aegean and vice versa. Arguments for the Aegean pedigree of the Type A sword follow. The flanged-hilted type B sword was introduced not to replace that of Type A, but as a result of developments in fencing. It is argued for the integrated use of the long Type A sword and the Type B dirk or sword; in a set of two swords the latter had probably the function of an auxiliary weapon intended, first of all, for parrying a blow.

In this article, we deal with the evaluation of finds of La Tène militaria – weapons and fighter equipment from the Pohanská hillfort in Plavecké Podhradie, which lies in the Small Carpathians. These objects as part of iron objects hoards are found here. They are mainly the points of lances, spears, as well as swords with scabbards with an “S”-shaped clip. In addition, there are decorative cases for knife sheathes. An important part of the finds is composed of parts of horse tackle in the form of curb bits and their components, spurs also appear. The La Téne hillfort Pohanská is dated to the period of the end of the middle and the beginning of the late La Tène LTC2 – LTD1a. As well as this site, new finds of weapons have appeared in the Small Carpathians in the form of an extremely long lance from Pezinok and the fragment of a sword from Smolenice-Molpír, where the settlement is contemporary with that of Plavecké Podhradie-Pohanská.

Occurrence of weapons in late LaTène period is very sporadic in the area of south-west Slovakia. There are very occasional or lost findings. Spearheads with facetted socket and middle rib are appearing there. Rarely, blades of Celtic swords are appearing as well. These are from the findings from the area of mountain chain Small Carpathia and its fore field. Dating of these weapons falls under the late LaTène period, LTC2–LTD2 and Roman period.

The chronological framework of the current subject is provided by the three main historical phases of the Avar Khaganate established in the Carpathian Basin. Geographically, the subject is limited to Transylvania, Maramureş, Crişana and the Romanian Banat. The catalogue of hitting/thrusting/cutting weapons discovered in western Romania lists 14 objects. The 14 artefacts were recovered from 12 cemeteries: 13 objects; and one settlement/house: one object. Based on the shape and characteristics of the blade, three main types of hitting, thrusting or cutting weapons have been distinguished: I – the Sabre; II – the Sword; III – the Backsword. The backswords have been further classified according to the characteristics of the hilt and cross-guard. Type III.1.a – backsword with the hilt ornamented with decorative thin precious metal foils covering the wood: Unirea/Vereşmort. Type III.1.b – backsword with an undecorated hilt, without a cross-guard: Dindeşti, Sfântu Gheorghe, Teiuş, Sânpetru German. Type III.2 – backsword with a hilt and a narrow rod-shaped crossguard fixed perpendicularly on the blade, with a rhombic part whose sharp ends point towards the blade and the hilt: Aiudul de Sus. Type III.3.a – backsword with a ring-shaped cross-guard and a semi-circular pommel: Valea lui Mihai. III.3.b – backsword with a ring-shaped cross-guard and a simple, straight hilt: Timişoara. All deceased of the 7th – 8th c. from western Romania that have been buried together with a sword, sabre or backsword, but also with other weapons or dress accessories, were men (adults). No woman’s or child’s grave contained, at least according to the current state of the research, swords, backswords or sabres. In the 7th – 8th c. western Romania the sword, the backsword and the sabre were the weapons used by the high-ranking Avar warriors within the military hierarchy of the Avar Khaganate.

The paper analyses components of early medieval burial equipment from grave 23 in Závada, district Topoľčany/SK after restoration that took place in 2017. The grave contained a type X sword, a pair of spurs, an incomplete set of sword belt fittings and a knife. Formerly accepted dating of the items found in grave 23, based on the concept of the Blatnica-Mikulčice Horizon, determined the chronology of the grave back to the first third of the 9th century. However, based on more recent finds about the chronology of an equestrian’s equipment, the chronology of the assemblage should be shifted rather to the period between the mid-9th century and the beginning of or even the mid-10th century.
