The book has some very good analysis on how fighters died, i.e. being struck a disabling blow and then repeatedly hit after they had fallen, based on post mortem damage to their bones and armor. Visby was several skirmishes, not a packed formation battle. Melees happened, which were a looser type of combat.
There is a book the covers the archaeological dig with drawing of the armor with theories of how it was constructed.
Here is a pretty amazing website that has reconstructions of the body armor.
