Interesting stuff, the other thing I notice is that the formations appear to be much deeper than they are wide, I doubt they did this to avoid stepping on the grass which suggests that most of the people there wanted to take part in the fight but didn't want to be on the front lines. I have heard that 18th century battles would occasionally see troops bunching up behind their bravest comrades although I'm curious about whether it happened much in ancient times.
