| dc.description |
A broken sword was found in Racibórz, in an assumed Ducal grave, dated back to the 1520s. The sword blade can be classified as a variation of the Type XVII (similar to the Type XVIIIb), the pommel belongs to the Type T5 and the crosspiece to the Type 12. As blade types XVII were mainly in use ca. 1350-1450, it cannot be excluded that the blade of the Racibórz sword was re-hilted and provided with a more fashionable pommel and a crosspiece ca. 1500. Several analogous examples of swords are presented in the paper. Concerning archaeometallurgical analysis of the blade, it was made of one piece of iron, carburised and then hardened. In result, a highquality blade with a soft core and hard edges was produced. For the sake of comparison, selected examples of archaeometallurgical analysis of other late medieval blades are provided.<br><br>El objeto de este trabajo es una espada fragmentada encontrada en Racibórz (Polonia), presumiblemente en un enterramiento ducal, datada con anteriodidad a 1520. Según la tipología de Oakeshott, la hoja puede ser clasificada como una variante del tipo XVII (similar al Tipo XVIIIb), el pomo pertenece al Tipo T5 y el arriaz al Tipo 12. Dado que las hojas del Tipo XVII fueron fundamentalmente usadas c. 1350-1450, no se puede excluir que la hoja de la espada Racibórz fuera guarnecida de nuevo con un pomo y un arriaz a la moda de c. 1500. En este trabajo se presentan otras espadas análogas. En cuanto al análisis aqueometalúrgico de la hoja, puede decirse que estaba hecha de una sola pieza de hierro, carburizado y endurecido. El resultado es una hoja de alta calidad, con un núcleo dúctil y fuertes filos. Como elementos de comparación se proporcionan paralelos escogidos de análisis arqueometalúrgicos sobre otras hojas bajomedievales. |
