Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor - New Book
#31
I'm glad to help (and Studniczka's German had some tricky passages, so translating them forced me to think about every phrase and not just skim). I was interested to read that the layered linen from Mycenae was about 1 cm thick (as well as the "fourteen layers" which is often mentioned) and that there were traces of several types of linen in the grave.

Old references like these ones, which are interesting to a lot of people away from big reference libraries, belong online (although somebody has to pay for it).
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
