Abstract

An Early Bronze Age sword from southern Sweden with inlaid decoration is investigated with regard to its original appearance, and the initial identification of an encrusted organic material within the ornamental decoration is shown scientifically to be wrong. The inlay technology now revealed is known from several Bronze Age objects from Mycenae and Egypt. A few examples from Central Europe link this sword from Sweden technologically with the eastern Mediterranean.
