Hello all. I'd like to know whether there are any clear indications of what types of tanning processes were used in the Aegean and Near East. Essentially what I mean is, should the reenactor stick only to vegetable-tanned, or brain-tanned (or similar), or are both acceptable? I'd like to avoid blowing any more resources on leather projects that will turn out to be incorrect.

I take rawhide as a given. I have heard that the Romans did vegetable-tanning but I'm looking for Classical and earlier sources.
