[No. 8 typology, as some irregular specimens are explained by the fact that brooches representing different stages of development were in use at the same time and probably sometimes also by the same person. The importance of this has been set out already at some places in the previous typological description. But from the latter half of the 6th cent. I know no finds where cruciform brooches of older forms are found associated with antiquities from that late time; it seems as if the type had suddenly disappeared about the middle of the century leaving only a few and insignificant descen- dants. The most satisfactory explanation of this fact is the sup- position that the type got totally out of fashion about that time and that consequently the still existing brooches of the cruciform type were generally no more used even if they were practically well fit for use. They may have been for the most part gradually.
