Scholarly papers on leather Hellenic body armor?
#9
What I was getting at is whatever you call it untanned leather is unlikely to survive several thousand years in the ground except under exceptional circumstances so its not suprising there is little to no artifactual evidence from the era...

Rawhide would seem logical for a TY it would also be cheap to produce in ancient Greece as it would require relatively few man hours....

Has anyone ever tried it?

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
