The armors of mideval warrior

05.08.2013

30 July archaeological excavations of one of the biggest mound brings first results. To the end of the summer probably will be serious discoveries. The mysterious of this founding can become the basis for the historical novel.

When archaeologists with volunteers examines the masonry, they found the armoirs

And all would be nothing, but that armor is much more recently than dumping. Archeologists assume, its relate to the eighteenth century. At that time  burial mounds were not erected. It is more ethnography, then archaeology, what`s mean, that these armors do not have archaeological interest.

Such armor are known from the times of Ancient Rome. So they lasted almost not changed before the advent of firearms

This armor is simple and reliable. From animal`s skin of from thick fabric (like jeans or sailcloth) was made a clothe like T-shirt. Then metal plates imposes to this shirt. All plates have different form, depends of the place, where they should be imposed (breast, shoulders, back).

It could be done in memory of the soldiers who died in exile. Or maybe somebody hided it and then did not come back. Unlikely we will never know what really happened.
