Social Sciences - Archaeology / Roman Empire swords
German term or phrase: stehen dabei ... zur Seite
Does this section mean that these Ost.-Kem. sword blades were found along with, or turned up along with, blades of the Illerup-Wyhl type? I can't think of what else would make sense.

Trotz eines merklichen Rückgangs der schmalen Klingen, kommen Waffen des Typs "Illerup-Wyhl" insgesamt noch mindestens bis an das Ende des 5. Jhs. n. Chr. vor.
Bereits ab der 1. Hälfte des 4. Jhs. n. Chr. **standen ihnen dabei die Klingen vom Typ "Osterburken-Kemathen" zur Seite**, die mit Maßen zwischen 60 und 77 mm, das obere Breitenspektrum spätkaiserzeitlicher Klingen abdecken.

Thanks in advance!

they used
Explanation:
From the text, it sounds to me that they were overlapping in the timeline, kind of like rifled muskets and smoothbores were also used during some of the same battles.

Explanation:
or "also in evidence". Archaeologists sometimes run out of metaphors when it comes to enumerating yet more items.
