==Lamellar armour==
''Lamellar is constructed from lamellae, first fastened together in rows and then tied together, normally overlapping upwards.'' [DAWSON 2009: p.10]<br>
Lamelar armour originated from Byzantium and was adopted to a limited degree by the Carolingians. There is some evidence for lamellar being made from horn or leather [DAWSON 2009: p.62]. <br>
Only a single find of Lamellar has been found in Scandinavia from the Viking period and that is from the Birka garrison [HOLMQUIST OLAUSSON 1998: p.7] and was possibly of Turkish origin [STEPHENSON 2007: p.87]. 8 different sizes [HEDENSTIERNA-JONSON 2006: p.58].<br>
Other earlier and later finds include: Korsbetningen in Visby C14th [HOLMQUIST OLAUSSON 1998: p.7]; Charavines in Provence c.1000AD [NICOLLE 2005: p.63]; Niederstotzingen c.600AD [P. PAULSEN 1967]; Cartagena, Spain C7th [VIZCAINO SANCHEZ 2008]<br>
