* Hedeby (from the Harbour) <br> 12 swords were recovered from the Harbour at Hedeby. 10 of these had partial remains of scabbards still attached. [HAGG 1991: p.248-268]
** Sword 1 - Wooden scabbard of oak. Plied construction. Lined in animal fur. Covered in two layers of leather.<br> The outer horizontal top layer of wood may be of very thin wood or bark bast (possibly used to bind instead of textile?).
