Abstrakt:	Neither the sword burials of the Late Roman Iron Age, nor the combination of an axe and arrows in graves indicate the presence of Burgundians in any particular region. A comparison of weapon burial practice associated with inhumation and cremation burial practice demonstrates beyond doubt that those differences which were identified in older publications reflect only overall changes in weapon burial practice over time. Some lance-heads and in particular the few spear-heads known show a close similarity to Scandinavian weapon types and indicate that weapon types became less specific for regions.
