Abstract
A 4th century Greek cuirass and helmet were pieced together from over 200 fragments, using epoxy resins and non-woven nylon backing. A temporary armature was constructed of epoxy putty. The techniques of cast-filling and infilling lacunae, and reconstructing missing areas in cast epoxy are described. See also AATA 19-1053.
