IIRC the article "Catalogue of Scandinavian mail" by Sonia A. O'Conner =
(which is in Dominic Tweddle's "The Anglian Helmet from Coppergate.") =
states that there is some evidence of mail of square cross section from =
Tuna, Gotland but they were unsure if this was mail or part of a chain.

I know that in the article Rus Scott wrote about mail he believed that =
"There are no square sectioned links, at best there is the possibility =
of some flat rectangular sectioned links."

I am not sure how he came to that conclusion but I am sure he has done =
more research on the subject than I have.
