Archaeological excavations of Bronze Age in Ramsar

Halberds

Halberds were scythe-shaped bronze blades that are attached to a wooden or metal shaft at a right angle. The artefacts of these tools were found in Europe and according to scientists, they dated from 2,200 to 1,700 B.C. and were mostly used in Ireland.

According to some scientists, halberds were so powerful that they could skull off a sheep if used correctly. Clearly, this was used as a weapon – transforming from heavy swinging handle to a sharp blade.
