British and continental archaeologists alike have long been beholden to J.D. Cowen for his interpretation of the bronze sword in Europe. His identification in 1951 of Hemigkifen and Erbenheim types among South German Griffzungenschwerter, his recognition that these forms were basic to all subsequent sword development in the British Isles, and his dating of them to the Hallstatt A (Ha A) Urnfield phase have remained crucial in any interpretation of the British Late Bronze Age.
