Pity the handles didn't survive, I would love to see what they looked like and how they hafted them. Also interesting they used retouched daggers not blades for dismemberment.

it's a very interesting article, not least as it claims that Cantona was sacrificing humans 1000 years before the aztecs. That Crystal Palace fan he kung-fu kicked doesnt know how close he came!
