rapiers

"The number of finds of axes and broken rapiers is thought to be due to religious offerings where valuable items were thrown into the water."

Rapiers in 1500BC? Is there another definition of rapier or just a mislabelling? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.128.145 (talk) 22:21, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

YES, the word rapier has (stupidly) been used to describe the earlier pattern of BA sword, which goes from wide base to a narrow tip, as opposed to the the later swords, which either became wider in the middle "leaf-blades" or straight sided blades. I SO wish we used another term! IceDragon64 (talk) 21:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

date

is it dated 1500 bce or 3500 bce?? the image caption in the infobox and the text are contradictory.--Arnaugir (talk) 19:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bronze Age Boats

I think we should have a Page about BA boats- including this link:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/dec/04/bronze-age-archaeology-fenland

to six more found near Peterborough. With the Hanson, the Dover and the Ferriby, we should be able to make comparisons and give a good, useful picture.

Different Infobox?

Should we use this one instead :

As they do on the Hasholme Logboat Page ? If you look into the Box you will find lots more Boat data we could fill in and ensure that THIS box is used for all the Museum boats so they are comparible.

If no-one comments I might BE BOLD at some stage, but I a not very good with Infoboxes.

I've added the image and some test info to this Ship box, to see what it looks like - quite similar to what was there already, so it could be used here if you wanted too. Not sure there are any other referenced dimensions though (apart from length)...Jokulhlaup (talk) 18:14, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
