Several items have been found in a 2,300-year-old Celtic cremation tomb in Germany, including a folded sword that may have been used in combat, a five-inch pair of scissors, a piece of a shield, a razor, a fibula, a belt chain, and a spearhead.
The objects were found while looking for lost munitions from World War II. According to archaeologist Martina Pauli of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, "the scissors in particular are in exceptional good condition." Such scissors might have been employed when shearing sheep or preparing leather.
The sword was around 30 inches long before it was heated and folded to make it useless, she claimed. Pauli came to the conclusion that while the fibula and belt chain may have belonged to a woman, the weapons may have belonged to a male warrior.
