Extract
On September 8th, 1856, I commenced my seventh, and last, archæological research in the remarkable cemetery of Envermeu, which, since its first discovery in 1850, has been the means of revealing to me nearly the whole of Merovingian archæology. On the 10th I visited the ground to examine the trenches which the workmen had prepared, and, on the same day, I examined seven interments, the first of which proved to be the most interesting of all my discoveries of this season.

On this passage of Tacitus I would remark, that though in the times of Augustus and Trajan the shield was probably granted, with the lance, to the German youths, yet the custom must have become modified in the days of Clovis and Dagobert. On every occasion that the shield has occurred in our Frankish cemeteries, it was always with a stalwart warrior, who often also bore a sword. (Sépultures Gauloises, Romaines, Franques, et Normandes, p. 225.) The small lance, or framea, on the contrary, is found with youths not having shields.
