“…Although archaeometric investigations have been performed on European armor for several decades (Bérard, 2019;Bérard et al, 2020;Böhne, 1961;Brewer, 1981;Imiołczyk et al, 2020;Kraner et al, 2019;Leever, 2005;Williams, 2011Williams, , 2003Williams et al, 2012;Williams and De Reuck, 1995), few were made on medieval ones. Hence, the hundreds of armor discovered at Chalcis (Ffoulkes and Traquair, 1911;Kontogiannis, 2012) constitute valuable evidence to document the eastern Mediterranean network exchanges and the history of armor making.…”
