Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
The pieces even if still large did not have any more a distinguishable shape Because they were burried and exposed to the soil, also the original colour were not any more identifiable they were brown like the soil. The embroided edge was in the shape of a sewed thicker spirals.
Even if the original shape was not any more identifyable the elements seem to us not bended but just disposed over the caulderons like they were.
The layers were very thin and it was clear that these were part of the elements' thickness in such a way pressed togheter (glued? thightly sewed like a quilted corselet ?...we dont know...) and I was able to count at least 10 from the damaged edges of the elements, but for what I remember some were melted together so more likely the linen layer which actually composed these elements were more than 10 (15 ? 20 ?) so in accordance to what was also found by Schliemman in Mycenae.
