GripNews➤ 古希臘史前戰鬥盔甲的生理學基礎分析
✤ https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0301494
在古希臘南部Dendra村附近於1960年發現了歐洲最古老完整的盔甲，但長期以來人們一直不清楚這套盔甲是否適合在戰鬥中長時間使用，或僅用於儀式。一系列考古生理學研究結合考古學、歷史、人體生理學和數值模擬知識，證實了Dendra村發現的邁錫尼盔甲完全適合在延續的戰鬥中使用，並提供了一個模擬晚青銅時代戰爭的自由軟體。特種武裝部隊人員穿著Dendra盔甲的仿製品，成功完成了我們根據現有證據開發的11個小時模擬晚青銅時代戰鬥方案。晚青銅時代戰爭中熱交換的數值模擬結果跨越不同環境條件和作戰強度，大致支持了邁錫尼人在東地中海地區有如此強大影響的想法。
+ 這項研究讓人更深入瞭解古希臘歷史中盔甲戰鬥的實際情況。
+ 通過生理學原理分析，我們可以更清楚地看到古代戰爭中盔甲的角色和重要性。

Analysis of Greek prehistoric combat in full body armour based on physiological principles: A series of studies using thematic analysis, human experiments, and numerical simulations
One of the oldest complete suits of European armour was discovered in 1960 near the village of Dendra, in Southern Greece, but it remained unknown whether this armour was suitable for extended use in battle or was purely ceremonial. This had limited our understanding of the ancient Greek–Late Bronze Age–warfare and its consequences that have underpinned the social transformations of prehistoric Europe and Eastern Mediterranean. In a series of archeo-physiological studies, merging knowledge in archaeology, history, human physiology, and numerical simulation, we provide supporting evidence that the Mycenaean armour found at Dendra was entirely compatible with use in extended combat, and we provide a free software enabling simulation of Late Bronze Age warfare. A group of special armed-forces personnel wearing a replica of the Dendra armour were able to complete an 11-hour simulated Late Bronze Age combat protocol that we developed from a series of studies based on the available evidence. Numerical simulation of the thermal exchanges in Late Bronze Age warfare extended this conclusion across different environmental conditions and fighting intensities. Our results support the notion that the Mycenaeans had such a powerful impact in Eastern Mediterranean at least partly as a result of their armour technology.
