Knives and Scabbards

by J Cowgill, M de Neergaard and N Griffiths

A welcome reprint of this seminal study on the wide variety of knives, leather scabbards, shears and scissors recovered from archaeological excavations in the city of London. The discussion is accompanied by a lengthy illustrated catalogue which records the evolving shape and design of knives and handles from the mid 12th to mid 15th centuries, reflecting changes in their use. An invaluable reference tool for specialists and historians. 169p with numerous illus (HMSO 1987, Boydell rep 2008)
