Archaeologists in Germany have unearthed a folded sword, scissors and other artifacts at a Celtic cremation tomb.

Archaeologists in Germany have unearthed a stash of grave goods — including a folded sword that may have been used in battle and an"exceptionally good" pair of scissors — inside a 2,300-year-old Celtic cremation tomb.
