   â˘Â Bronze Age Blades, Tools and Weapons ...  It is not swords that are the most common weapon finds of the late bronze age, but spearheads. These would be found in the hoard deposits, as well as stray finds near watery bodies. There are even examples of being found stuck within a human skeleton. Such bog bodies were found across Europe, especially in Scandinavia and British Isles. Perhaps the person died in battle, but more probable is the assumption that these were either punished criminals or individuals sacrificed to divine forces.
One characteristic type of a spear is one with a paired rib decoration. These are typical for the time of 13th and 12th century BC and spread from present-day Germany to the Aegipan, during the time of the so-called Bronze Age Collapse, when the area of the eastern Mediterranean was in a great turmoil by internal and external threats, most famously by the Sea People.
Another spear type is one with ribs crossing the entire length of the spearhead. Such spears had a quite different area of popularity.
