Current research project results show that the old hypotheses about knives-daggers and shoulder straps (<em>baltei Vidgiriai<\/em>), which until now were believed to form a functional complex, as well as about the former owners of these artefacts should be drastically revised (at least in case of the former Sambian-Natangian culture area). It has become possible to develop a classification of knives-daggers with several major types and their variants; it has been also shown, that <em>baltei Vidgiriai<\/em> were used already at the end of the Late Roman Period and thus appear to be older than the \u201cclassical\u201d knives-daggers. Traditional views of the graves with knives-daggers, as per definitionem rich burials of professional warriors with a high social status, found no evidence in the examined archaeological material. The results testify that knives-daggers were a common weapon of free members of the communities of the Sambian-Natangian culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yaroslav V.
