Yes 2 references. it was apparently found in shaft grave 4 or 5 at Myceane Snodgrass refers to it as a possible greave, but as far as its current location or any published article i drew a total blank.
As far as the testing is going i have the ballistics gel in the fridge and am currently making more armour samples yes i will be using glued linen, leather, steel plate, bronze plate, bronze scale, and iron scale (if i can find some) and sewn linen for comparison. I am also casting bronze Persian and Greek replica arrowheads and sourcing phragmites reeds for arrow shaft (its a weed every where in the world except Western Australia (of course) it is only in one spot in a state of this size)
