He has a point,you know,Paul.
Now you'll say some of those unidentified pieces of bronze are from such types of armour.Not convincing.The linothorax was the most common armor in classical times,there are vases and sculptures depicting hoplites and phalanxes wearing only them.Graves have been foumd with greaves,helmets ,muscled thoraxes and shields(most of them in italy it is true),but no such pieces of armor.
The link Wolfgang postd must suit your description to an extend.No such pieces in greek archaeology,not many of them together,at least.
