  • The Spirit of the Sword and Spear
    The Spirit of the Sword and Spear The Spirit of the Sword and Spear Mark Pearce From the Norse sagas or the Arthurian cycles, we are used to the concept that the warrior’s weapon has an identity, a name. In this article I shall ask whether some prehistoric weapons also had an identity. Using case studies of La Tène swords, early Iron Age central and southern Italian spearheads and middle and late Bronze Age type Boiu and type Sauerbrunn swords, I shall argue that prehistoric weapons could indeed have an identity and that this has important implications for their biographies, suggesting that they may have been conserved as heirlooms or exchanged as prestige gifts for much longer than is generally assumed, which in turn impacts our understanding of the deposition of weapons in tombs, where they may have had a ‘guardian spirit’ function. There are many ways in which we can approach the persons and events to which it is connected’. They prehistoric weapons (Pearce 2007): we can study them illustrate this point through Trobriand kula exchange. typologically, to see how their form is related to the In this article I shall take an approach which sequence of types, and we can also use that informa- is related to this latter trend, but rather than try to tion to date them, assigning them to chronological examine the biography of some prehistoric swords horizons. We can examine them functionally, and try and spears, I want to pose the question: was an identity to assess how effective they will have been as weap- attributed to some prehistoric weapons? By using the ons, or perhaps as parade paraphernalia rather than term ‘identity’ I do not mean to argue that prehistoric utilitarian equipment.

No. copY a. 1 Brothers, Limited. Copyright, 1901, by Harmsworth All rights reserved. November, igoi. PREFACE A PREFACE is an old-fashioned thing, we are told, and yet modern publishers repeat the demand made by their brethren of Queen Victoria's early days, and declare that one is wanted. If this be so, I am glad to take the opportunity thus given to me to thank the publishers for the quickness and completeness with which the matter printed in the following pages was issued. Nowadays there are so many able writers in the field of literary activity writing volumes, or ar- ticles in the newspapers or magazines, that very rapid work is necessary if a man desires to impress readers with his views of a character or of an event, before the public have listened to others. The long waiting, pondering, collating, and weighing, fit for the final labor of the historian, is impossible to him who rapidly sketches in his subject for the eyes of the genera- tion which desires an immediate survey of the imme- diate past. We may deplore the fact that great themes cannot thus be worthily treated. The facts that are already public are alone those that may be dwelt upon.

  • Iron, Steel and Swords Script - Page 1 but Back to Northern Sagas
    Old Sagas, Heroes and Swords I got a bit carried away when I wrote this module, as you can, no doubt, figure out yourself. Well, it happened, and I let you have it. If you don't want to read all this but just want to know what I found out with regard to swords, use this link A Few General Words to Sagas and Their Roots Every German with a halfway decent education has heard about Siegfried and the "Nibelungenlied" (Song of the Nibelungs). Every European with a halfway decent education has heard about her ancient local heroes mentioned in some epic, poem, epic poem, song, saga, legend, lay or whatever literary genre the surviving text belongs to. I will use the term "saga" in what follows for all of that. What we loose in precision, we gain in simplicity. The motives and plots of most old sagas are powerful and ageless; they still grab our imagination. Lots of the present Advanced phantasy books and films are just modern versions of old sagas. Take "Lord of the Rings" or "Star Wars", for example. No matter if the the saga is old or new, we often find a common feature: "Magic" swords are important parts of many sagas. Of course, every European with a halfway decent education has also learned about much older sagas, for example Homer's Ilias and Odysee, recounting events from around 1500 BC, Greek tragedies and comedies, and Roman writings of all kinds. Possibly one has even heard about the Epic of Gilgamesh from old Mesopotamia.

  • Nals 2017 Edited by Andrew Hart, Stephen Liu, Benji Nguyen, Adam Silverman, Cody Voight, Nathan Weiser Tossups by the Editors (1)
    ACF Regionals 2017 Edited by Andrew Hart, Stephen Liu, Benji Nguyen, Adam Silverman, Cody Voight, Nathan Weiser Tossups by the Editors (1) 1. Welsh immigrants to this region founded a settlement called Y Wladfa (oh lad-vah) . Early explorers of this region wrote sensationalized accounts of its native Tehuelche ( tay-HWAIL-chay) people. A country’s strategy of displacing this region’s natives with European immigrants was called “the conquest of the desert.” A popular myth about this region originated in Antonio Pigafetta’s account of traveling through it with the Magellan expedition. This region was said to be inhabited by a race of huge barbarians called its “giants.” This region to the south of Araucania ( ah-rau-kah-NEE-ah) is an ancestral homeland of the Mapuche people and the southernmost region inhabited by “gaucho” cowboys. For 10 points, name this frontier region of far southern South America that includes Tierra del Fuego. ANSWER: P atagonia [accept Patagonian Giants; prompt on “ South America” before “desert”] 2. A character in this profession imitates Barnes by smoking crack cocaine while trying to be “Time’s ῠrst human author of perfection.” A man with this job named Casi ( CAH-see) corresponds with the mentally disabled Jalen Kingg and is convinced by Dane to defraud the police and a drug kingpin in Sergio De La Pava’s A Naked Singularity . Harry Lutz and Harold Basie are characters in this profession who spar over Oscar Crease’s play Once at Antietam in William Gaddis’s novel A Frolic of His Own , a satire of this profession.

  • Iron, Steel and Swords Script - Page 1 Cutting Through Armor with a Sword
    Swords with Names Here is a list of swords with names, what the name means, who owned them, plus some additional information that I found interesting. I keep adding to that list but can't guarantee that everything is absolutely correct. A lot of the "information" comes from mythical lore anyway, often second or third hand, and with plenty of contradictions and uncertainties. Since a lot of heroes and their swords appear in more than one saga, there is often conflicting information and one has to choose which one appears to be more creditable. I looked at a lot of sources in the Net, in books, and in scientific writings. Nevertheless I probably missed quite a bit of what has been written. I don't think it matters much, however. Dealing with the matter I pretty soon realized that one gets different bits and pieces of essentially the same basic stuff, plus some guesses or hearsay. I tried to put Advanced the most relevant information together. My judgement may not agree with yours; it may also simply be wrong on occasion. Module Illustration Every now and then, and in particular at the end of this module, I propose speculative interpretations of some pertinent facts that you are entitled to consider asinine and Old Sagas outrageous. Just stop reading in this case. But remember that science thrives by looking at issues from different points of view, and that scientists like to fight lustily and tirelessly for their viewpoints, albeit rarely with swords. Like always, Wikipedia has bits and pieces of good information in a lot of different pages.
