Rethinking academic career development in universities
In a relentless pursuit of ‘excellence’, academic communities are facing challenges of loneliness, burnout, loss of motivation and lack of legitimacy. How should we rethink career development in research? Traditionally, ‘talent’ (picked locally or acquired externally) is hired into positions with an expectation to perform along similar and standardised norms; we argue for more diverse and individual approaches to academic careers as part of acade…
Textile Craft as Empowerment
Focusing on museums, this article illustrates how textile crafts can become a source for scholarly inquiry and can enhance more inclusive practices at museums. The empirical data comprises four museum-related projects conducted since 2017 focusing on textile craft and creativity with women in Denmark, particularly women of refugee, migrant, or second-generation migrant background. Through these cases, we unravel the potential of textile crafts as…
Ancient Loom Weights at the J. Paul Getty Museum
The article presents a group of twenty-two mostly unpublished terracotta loom weights in the Villa collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Most have been classed as coming from the southern Italian Peninsula and are discoid or hemispherical. A functional analysis based on experimental archaeology demonstrates that these loom weights were used for weaving fine cloth. Their decoration includes dots and lines, imprints of coins, and images pressed i…

Mise en œuvre d’une approche globale des textiles anciens au Centre de recherche sur les textiles de Copenhague
La recherche scandinave sur les textiles, qui s’appuie sur les traditions de l’archéologie expérimentale, a bénéficié de l’excellent état de conservation des textiles anciens. L’article évoque tout d’abord les origines de la discipline au xixe siècle et décrit son évolution. Les disciplines concernées par les recherches actuelles sont ensuite étudiées sous l’angle des nouvelles méthodologies, des sources et de la collaboration entre chercheurs, c…
Spinning fates and the song of the loom
Tracing the dynamic life story of a Bronze Age Female
Ancient human mobility at the individual level is conventionally studied by the diverse application of suitable techniques (e.g. aDNA, radiogenic strontium isotopes, as well as oxygen and lead isotopes) to either hard and/or soft tissues. However, the limited preservation of coexisting hard and soft human tissues hampers the possibilities of investigating high-resolution diachronic mobility periods in the life of a single individual. Here, we pre…

Spinning and Weaving Wool in Ur III Administrative Texts
The Mycenaean Administration of Textile Production in the Palace of Knossos
The Linear B tablets from Knossos known as the Lc series record textile production targets for central and western Crete for a specific range of textiles called te-pa, pa-we-a, and tu-na-no. The production targets for wool textiles differed according to the groups assigned to fulfill the targets; these groups were designated according to ethnicity and occupation. A comparison of the total target for noncollector workers in central Crete with the …
Old Textiles – New Possibilities
Textile research has become an important field of archaeology. Although the established analytical methods are often viewed as specialized, their integration with other interdisciplinary approaches allows us to deal with broader archaeological issues and provides the interpretational base for a much more comprehensive investigation of textiles in ancient times. Analyses of fibres, dyes, archaeobotanical and archaeozoological remains, as well as p…
Shape of Things
If there is one thing to be learnt from watching people work in old traditional crafts it is this: The tools and the working procedures are never clumsy, never impractical ( Hoffmann 1988 ) Summary Loom weights are common finds in archaeological excavations in Europe and the Near East. They represent the only remains of warp‐weighted looms. The function of the warp‐weighted loom is well known from ethnographic studies. The function of loom weight…
Provenance of Ancient Textiles—a Pilot Study Evaluating the Strontium Isotope System in Wool
Strontium isotopes are used in archaeology to reconstruct human and animal migration routes. We present results of a pilot study applying strontium isotope analyses to modern sheep hair as a basis for its potential use as a provenance tracer for ancient woollen textiles. Our hydrofluoric acid‐based, lipid soluble analytical protocol, also tested on a number of ancient textile fibres, allows for contamination‐free, low blank strontium isotope anal…
Arslantepe, Malatya (Turkey)
La production de textiles, l’une des plus anciennes activités artisanales, a joué un rôle majeur dans les sociétés. Pourtant, très peu de textiles archéologiques ayant été préservés, il faut travailler sur les restes d’outils liés à la production textile. Les auteurs de cet article analysent les outils datés de l’âge du Bronze couvrant ainsi une période de deux millénaires à Arslantepe. La taille et le poids des outils renseignent sur la producti…
The Knossos Od Series
Diese Studie ist eine epigraphische Untersuchung der Linear B-Täfelchen aus dem WestflÃ1⁄4gel des Palastes von Knossos. Im Fokus sind die 61 unklassifizierten Od-Täfelchen mit dem Ideogramm fÃ1⁄4r Wolle. Die Autorin präsentiert eine neue Klassifikation der Od-Täfelchen, indem sie entweder neue Sets identifiziert oder unklassifizierte Od-Täfelchen in vorhandene Od Sets oder in andere Serien, wie die bekannten und wohl recherchierten â BÃ1⁄4rosâ fÃ…
