Analyzing the textile material from the necropolis of Dei…
A Study of Silk Fabric from the Xiongnu Age Under-Headdress Discovered at Yaloman II Mound 51 in the Central Altai
В статье представлены обстоятельства обнаружения крупного фрагмента ткани от нижнего головного убора из кург. 51 памятника Яломан II, расположенного на высокой террасе около места впадения р. Большой Яломан в р. Катунь (Центральный Алтай). Датировка исследованного объекта, в т. ч. радиоуглеродным методом, указывает на его сооружение в сюннуское время (II в. до н.э. -1 в. н.э.). Для определения структуры текстильных переплетений и характеристики н…
A Study of Silk Fabric from the Xiongnu Age Under-Headdress Discovered at Yaloman II Mound 51 in the Central Altai
We describe a large fragment of fabric from the under-headdress excavated from mound 51 at Yaloman II—a site on a high terrace near the place where the Bolshoy Yaloman fl ows into the Katun, Central Altai. Various criteria, including radiocarbon analysis, suggest that the burial dates to the Xiongnu Age (200 BC to 100 AD). The structure of the textile was assessed microscopically. On the basis of morphological criteria, the fi bers were identifi …
Elite objects from kurgans on the Oyat River (Leningrad Oblast)
This paper considers fragments of elite objects of the 10th–12th century from kurgans on the Oyat River. It is silk textiles, embroidered collars, and gold-woven threads. The authors arrived at the conclusion about the high price of these objects and the hypothetical place of their manufacture. Possibly, there were centres to which silk cloths and silk threads were imported and where women, to the extent of their skill, embroidered some details o…

From Egypt to China
The subject of this research is the methodological approach aimed at preservation of archeological textile, which is an extremely fragile material and require delicate care. It is insufficient just to find textile, but it needs to be preserved throughout the entire chain – from the area of finding to sending over to restoration. Information that can be obtained as a result of further research is comprehensive: textile itself, costume, trade relat…

Bronze Age Textiles from the North Caucasus
Textiles from the North Caucasus Majkop culture (3700–3200 cal BC) site of Novosvobodnaya were selected for a programme of examination. Wool, flax and cotton‐like plant‐fibre threads were identified. This is the oldest example of wool so far identified in the archaeological record. Weaving techniques employed in making the textiles included the use of tablets or discs, and a simple frame. In addition, two dyeing techniques using tannin dyes have …
