According to Moorey, such categories of swords were distributed in the Northern Iran area, as proved by the Amarlu finds. Based on the example from the Ashmolean Museum, he dated them to the end of the 2nd millennium B.C., more precisely to a period between the 14th and 13th centuries B.C. The type was in use until the 7th century B.C. -
