N2 - The practice of depositing hundreds or even thousands of military items in a single event in wet areas throve during the first five centuries AD in southern Scandinavia. Such sites are nowadays often referred to as ‘war booty sacrifices’, thought to represent the spoils of an armed conflict, offered possibly to thank the gods for a victory in war.3 These deposits typically contain military artefacts such as spears, shields, and sword belt parts, but very seldom do they include body armour, which has only been found in a few sites.
