That’s a fascinating observation, but I’m more interested in the actual bones themselves. The density you see on those helmets tells us where the remains were buried—stratigraphic layers in the Mycenaean deposits reveal that the bone fragments come from a specific period when the climate made preservation easier. So the warriors likely used locally available, dense bone because it was readily available in those layers, not because they were experimenting with new materials. If you want to trace the evolution of battle gear, look at how the bone types shift with each stratum, not just the reports.
