The reason for this probably lies in the fact that we really don't know much about how they fought in this period. I hope the fact that we can't even agree on the reality of the most important element of protection conveys this. The truth is that we don't have a totally accurate understanding of how hoplites fought in any period, but these early and perhaps trasitional periods are even more opaque.
