520 8  Gergely Csiky offers a presentation of close combat 
       weapons of a nomadic population that migrated from Inner 
       Asia to East-Central Europe. During the late 6th early 7th
       centuries, the Avars led successful military campaigns 
       against the Balkan realms of the Byzantine Empire, 
       facilitated by their cavalrys use of stirrups for the 
       first time in Europe. Besides the classification, 
       manufacturing techniques, fittings, suspension, 
       distribution, and chronology of polearms and edged weapons
       known from Avar-age burials, a special emphasis is laid on
       the origins and cultural contacts of these weapons, among 
       them the first edged weapons with curved blades: the 
       sabres. The social significance and, function of these 
       artefacts is discussed in order to place them in nomadic 
       warfare.
