The Perfect Sword. Forging the Dark Ages, Hardback/Edoardo Albert

This is the story of the Bamburgh Sword - one of the finest swords ever made. Alongside that, it gives a fascinating insight into the world of experimental archaeology - where archaeologists attempt to recreate an artefact or structure of the past using only the technologies and materials available at the time.
