Does anyone have any information on the original report for the finds at Pouan? I’m specifically looking for works dealing with the discovered spatha, like dimensions and materials analysis, but I’ll take pretty much anything.

I can work with French and German, but publications or people to contact for more info in any language will work for me too.

Thanks in advance.

This set of spatha and langseax is awesome, poorly known, unfortunately.

There's a better picture of both here:

I just know the info from wikipedia:
