Lorica Squamata closing method

Dura has the complete horse scale example. However it is not clear if you can make any direct parallels to scale worn by people. The Carpow example of scale is so small it is unclear i think where it came from (neck or otherwise). Interestingly enough both examples from Dura and Carpow have the same identical bordering stitches, even though the two examples are separated by a century and thousands of kilometres.
