Is there a definitive source or catalogue that details the excavations from the Battle of Visby?

I am most interested in a detailed comparison of the various coats of plates, maille, and other bits of armour.

The definitive book of the finds from the battle is Bengt Thordeman's Armour from the Battle of Wisby: 1361. This is the definitive published work by the archaeologist who excavated the original site. I do not believe it is a full and complete catalog of each item, but it provides extensive detail and is the best and most complete published source. In addition to details about the armour it also has some analysis of wounds received by the dead. The linked version is the reprint from a decade or so ago. It is very expensive but is available at some academic libraries. When looking at libraries especially be aware that they may have the original printing from the 30's, so look for both.
