Quote:There is a couple of centuries between most of the Linear B evidence and Troy VIIa. Chariot combat certainly changed during this time. Before the time of Merneptah chariot archers dominated the battlefield. After this time the chariot became relegated to a supporting role and infantries began to dominate.I am not sure about that chronology, anyway Micenian chariots carried no archers, but lancers
