Abstract
ACCORDING to the September issue of the Anglo-Swedish Review a find has recently been made near Shövde in western Sweden consisting of a bronze cauldron and a single-edge iron sword, the head of a javelin and a fine shield boss. This is the first complete set of arms found in western Sweden that can be dated to the centuries just before the birth of Christ. A closer examination of the site of the discovery resulted in the discovery of no less than twenty-two tombs. Another discovery has been recently made in Landa, also in West Sweden, namely, three pieces covered with gold plates dating from about A. D. 500. The total number of gold pieces of this kind, of which several have runic inscriptions, is about 175 in Sweden and 550 in the whole of Scandinavia.
