出版社:Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas
摘要:Las excavaciones arqueológicas en la fortaleza medieval de Mendikute (Albiztur, Guipúzcoa) permitieron recuperar una numerosa colección de materiales metálicos entre los que se cuentan un volumen considerable de restos de armamento. Este conjunto de material bélico, que incluye puntas de lanza, saetas y otros elementos no proyectiles como dagas, cuchillos y algunos útiles auxiliares de la actividad militar, ha sido documentado a lo largo de los últimos años y analizado desde una perspectiva morfológica y funcional a fin de definir una tipología precisa con base en datos morfométricos cuantificables. La colección presenta numerosos paralelos con otros ejemplares coetáneos y su interpretación con base en un registro arqueológico detallado ofrece valiosa información para el conocimiento de las prácticas militares de la Baja Edad Media. A wide collection of metallic materials was discovered during the archaeological fieldwork at the medieval fortress of Mendikute (Albiztur, Gipuzkoa). Amongst these, there is a considerable amount of weapon fragments. This assemblage of weaponry includes spear fragments, arrows and other non-projectile elements such as daggers, knives or auxiliary tools for military activity. The collection has been documented during the last few years and approached by means of morphological and functional analyses, in order to define a precise typology based on quantifiable morphometric data. There are numerous parallels for these weapons in correlation with other contemporary specimens. Their interpretation built upon a detailed archaeological record offers valuable information for the knowledge of the military practices of the Late Middle Ages.
