Quote:Are the scale and leather pieces the fragmented ones from 5cent cuirass found in the Sem'Bratiev barrow?I'll have to check on that - I'm still waiting for some Russian works I've sent off for.

Lots of new work and new discoveries have been uncovered in the 1990's, much of which is still awaiting publication. Can't wait
