Development of Construction La Téne Swords. Revision of the Current State of Research

The presented master thesis revises the results of metallographic analyses performed on La Tène swords by Radomír Pleiner and other european metallographers, published in the book The Celtic Sword. This thesis revises the typology and chronological classification of individual swords. For a simpler and clearer classification of La Tène blades, a completely new code structure has been created for easier database processing.. The thesis is supplemented by a catalogue of the examined blades with additional information and a newly graphically processed typology.
