I would suggest to start with the publications of Steve Ashby and Kristina Ambrosiani about the typology of medieval combs (see below). Otherwise there are a lot of references about comb finds in the reference database on the WBRG-website. Go to <a href="https://www.wbrg.net/references" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wbrg.net/references</a> , chose the keyword search and tick „comb“ and whatever else you regard as appropriate keywords.<br>

> According my investigation: the comb we can assign to the group IB, type VII (variety 9a or 9c) or type VIII (variety 4) - classification according to Eugeniusz Cnotliwy 1973: Rzemioslo rogownicze na Pomorzu wcześniośredniowiecznym. This king of a comb is dated in the turn of the 9th and 10th century AD.<br>
