Classification of the Oslo, London and Greifswald corpora
The finds from the three corpora of Oslo, London and Greifswald are presented here within the classification as used in this study.
The Oslo finds
The finds from Oslo are presented by museum numbers of Oldsaksamlingen (C).
Gamlebyen
Following the Oldsaksamlingen numbering (C) the Gamlebyen numbering (G) is added, as used during excavation and by Bolstad (1991). Dating to phase are by Bolstad (1991), based on Lidén (1977) and Schia (1979)

The London finds
The London finds are presented according to institution where the finds are kept.
London Archaeological Archive and Research Centre (LAARC)
The finds at LAARC are catalogued by single context recording (Site code – Context number – Individual number). The dates presented here are from published dates of context numbers, in Knives and Scabbards (Cowgill et al. 1987) or other publications in the series of Medieval Finds from Excavations in London. Dates are also found in excavation reports, both published and unpublished. If the sheath is published in Knives and Scabbards, the catalogue number is included.

Museum of London (MoL)
The finds at the Museum of London are catalogued by several systems, starting with a continuing numbering.
The finds with an A-prefix were transferred from the Guildhall museum in 1974. The later system starts with year of acquisition (excluding century), before individual numbers. The dates given here are from the catalogue cards and the Medieval Catalogue. If the sheath is published in Knives and Scabbards (K&S) (Cowgill et al.
1987) the catalogue number is included. If it is published in Medieval Catalogue (MC) (Ward-Perkins 1940) the page number is included. A minimum information of findspot is included, but often this information is all there is of provenience.
