Archaeological excavations at Skelby in the southwest of Westeros, Sweden continue to bring unexpected finds. A short sword or combat knife dating from AD 700-900 was recently found in a well. Archaeologists have already noted the unique preservation of the beautifully carved wooden handle. The find was made at the bottom of one of the wells that archaeologists are digging at the site where there was once a settlement. It is a prehistoric settlement and a younger Iron Age burial ground of about twenty graves.
