I think, however, that a closer inspection of the material will show that the pre- sumed difference of time respecting the change in the funeral rites, if any, is not great enough to allow of a conclusion of this sort. The Western parts of Norway have in any case produced a richer develop- ment of the latest forms of the cruciform brooches, and the production of them has perhaps here lasted longer than in the East, which would well correspond with the fact that England, the most western district of the Teutonic world, has produced fine and remarkable varieties of the type later than any found in the Scandinavian Fig 46.
