caotropheus Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45753455 I am most curious to see what research will tell us about the metallurgy and materials the manufacturers used to make this sword, what was their raw material origin, what was the environment this sword was made, landscape, lake depth and so on, and so on ...

Lou L Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I can’t help but imagine the events that lead up to that sword sitting at the bottom of the lake. Great story and I, too, can’t wait to hear more. Sadly, this sort of study is usually painfully slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in Oly, WA Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I always wondered where I lost that thing. Had it the last time I left the tardis… on holiday, looking for an out of the way place/time to do a bit of hunting and gathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The article said that they have found more artifacts. A broach from the 3rd century. Wonder what else they will turn up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
