Pottery in Louvre and British museum shows both shiled types on the same vessel at the same time frame.
Probably Malians, Phokians and Locrians were the last to convert as from "peltastic" they became more "hoplitic".
The Beotian shield was kept by the Thessalians as cavalry shield-I still research that.
Kind regards
