8th century bc is not Archaic. It's Geometric hoplites. They wouldn't fight in a tightly packed phalanx,and perhaps some of their equipment is speculated.
Here's a typical and most representative archaic hoplite from the 7th century bc,a bit before 600bc
and here's plate from an Osprey book with 8thc centyry warriors.
