There appear to have been several variants of armor patterns found at 
the site. Remember, if you want to use the armor for SCA combat, you 
will have to modify the patterns to provide better arm and leg 
protection, shoulder protection, and throat protection. By the time 
you are done, you will probably no longer be very "authentic."
