Bronze Age swords and shields, dating 9th-8th BC. Swords are a sign of the increasing importance of warriors, who became a social class in the Bronze Age. They were found in Bothenheilingen and Kehmsted. The shields were found folded in a bog near Herzsprung. They are made of thin bronze sheet and show no signs of use.
