jespa's view seems correct to me.

The only thing i can point out with certainty, is thta from their nature, javeloinmen would have come closer to the enemy than archers/slingers. Archers should have tried to be able to get a direct view of their target. Lastly, slingers might have well showered the enemy from a hilllock or even from behind friendly lines.

I'd try to figure out their position in battle according to their weapons and role.
