Thanks for the info!So,you've examined the linothorax parts.I noticed you used this name...so you do believe it is part of a linothorax and not folded linen.No pictures I suppose,huh?
How big the parts were?And you said they come from two different excavations?Two separate thoraxes?

Yes were two diferent linotorax coming from two separate burials.
Even if damaged the parts were large enough to be compatible with a linen corselet protecting the man chest.
All the archaeologists who performed the excavation were confident that such elements were such kind of linen corselet belong to the warriors cremated and burried together their weapons (small swords, daggers, spears point... and the relevant caulderons covered with their linen embroided corselets made of at least 10 layers of linen.
