Scientists also say that the artifacts are “extremely rare.”
The discovery “extremely rare” tip of the sword of the bronze age was proclaimed the discovery of “international importance” after they were discovered on a Scottish building site.
The weapon was among the ancient artifacts discovered in the mine near the small town of Cornesti.
Supply of metal structures hints at the wealth of local military companies, who lived in the area 1,000-800 years BC. During the excavations the archaeologists also discovered the biggest Neolithic hall ever found in Scotland – it dates back to 4000 BC.
“The earliest Celtic myths often emphasize the reflectivity and Shine of the heroic weapons. Gold jewelry was probably added at this tip to elevate it because of the rarity of the material and its visual impact. A treasure trove of artifacts, which are about 3000 years old, is a godsend life. It is very unusual to recover such artifacts in the modern archaeological excavations, because they can reveal so much in the context of the burial,” said Alan hunter Blair of archaeological firms GUARD.
In the UK and Ireland had previously been found only a few such tips, so the discovery is of international importance. Scientists also say that the artifacts are “extremely rare” for the survival of organic remains such as leather, wood, fur, leather and textiles.
