Saxon Weponry

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

Hi there, I'm currently writing an essay about bone trauma in the Saxon world, and I'm having difficulty finding out much about weapon types used by the Saxons, and since IB is pretty dam accurate and focuses on warfare I thought you might know any good books on Saxon weaponry, the more academic the better.

Thanks alot guys.

This site may help a bit. Info about weaponary and armor is very scarce before the 6-7 centuries
