===Archaeology===
----
Scabbards seem to be predominately made up of 4 layer:
* Lining -
* Core -
* Wrapping -
* Cover -
This is probably an over simplification and more information can be found in the Construction section.<br>
<br>
====England====
* England, York <br> 64 finds of scabbard leathers have been found.
