Een Sögel-Wohlde-zwaard uit het dal van het Oude Diep bij Echten (Dr.)

Auteurs

Samenvatting

A Sögel-Wohlde sword from the Oude Diep stream me monitored the construction works for ecological improvements undertaken in the Oude Diep stream valley near Hoogeveen. Within a confined area, he there recovered the blade of a lavishly decorated Sögel-Wohlde-type sword datable to the MBA-A, and a few days later he found the missing tip of that same blade – as well as a bronze hilt cap and curved bronze fragment of lenticular cross-section (either bracelet or bent rapier). The evident bends of the Sögel-Wohlde-sword blade suggest that it – like the East Rudham dirk – was deliberately bent prior to deposition. Other finds of Bronze Age metalwork, such as a bracelets and a socketed axe, suggest that the Oude Diep stream valley served as a long-term deposition site throughout the Middle and Late Bronze Age.
