Hey, nobody is "pissing off" anybody...*gosh", the internet is qiet difficult to handle in a discussion. Words are misunderstood so easy, you do not know the people personally or see their mimics while saying anything...
Graham, I know late antique founds or leather armors of the Vikings f.e., but we are talking about 1.cent. AD "segementatae"...at least I was... :wink:
There you have no organic piece of it. So, if other "organic armors" already have been found, why not from the 1.cent. a "samentata" (now I am turning this argument style around)....
Nobody ever said that the pure speculation about it or an experiment with it is wrong or nonsense. But as long as you cannot bring it together with a found and maybe also with written sources or iconographics...for me it belongs to the topic "reenactment armour experiment" or something, but absolutely not to "experimental archaeology".
Sorry folks, but the outselling of "experimental archaeology" worries me.
@Graham: where can I order and buy your books?
Or can I blackmail you with CDs that I made? :wink:
