"Appearance of Middle Elamites?" Topic

The venerable Armies of the Ancient Near East says that hardly anything is known about the appearance of Middle Elamite (1500-1100 BC or so) armies.

Would anyone happen to know if anything much has been learnt in the four decades since publication?

"Oxford Handbook of Iranian History" has a chapter on Elamites. Published 2012. You may be able to access it on line. No idea if it adds anything to what you have.

Thanks. The chapter is available on Academia.edu:

but it doesn't have anything to say on the appearance of Middle Elamite soldiers.

I spent a lot of time looking around for images or information. My best single source resource was Potts, 1999. The archaeology of Elam: Formation and transformation of an ancient Iranian state. Cambridge University Press. There is a copy of the first edition on line with academia.edu

There were some great items in the Louvre: cylinder seal impressions, chariot wheel hoops, some stone reliefs.

Ultimately I decided that the Late Bronze Age was a very international era (long range trading tin to make the bronze) so perhaps well equiped Elamites did not look so different from others. More unarmoured archers with head bands as a nod to the much later Assyrian relief sculptures to be sure.

Also, that chariots were not mass produced in factories so they could also look different. And ideally should. But most pulled by armoured horses.

Thanks. I'll see if I can access a copy of the 2nd edition, otherwise I'll take a look at the 1st.
