SUMMARYThe Crest: Roman/Greek helmet crest (crista, horsehair ridge) vs. the Eastern Woodlands roach (porcupine guard hair and deer tail) worn by Haudenosaunee (incl. Kanien'keha:ka, "People of the Flint," labeled "Mohawk" by outsiders) and other nations; historic scalp lock. Record. Michigan tablet archers wear crests AND carry bows (fits American warriors better than Roman legionaries, who used spears and swords; point for Tito's reading). Connection vs. convergent design = Open (test: first appearances by date and place; shared gear traveling with the crest).
