I am completing a study of ancient Greek helmets (Cretan, Corinthian,
and Illyrain, 7-5th c BC) in the collection of the Harvard University
Art Musuems (X-radiography, metallography, chemical analysis,
micro-hardness tests).
I have found only a few published comparable projects on ancient Greek armour:
- C.S. Smith's appendix in H. Hoffmann, Early Cretan Armorers,
- P.H. Blyth "Metallurgy of two fragmentary Archaic Greek Helmets,"
JHMS vol. 7: 1993.
Does anyone know of other metallographic or chemical studies of
ancient Greek helmets or armour??!
Thanks very much.
