  • Peñacalera (Obejo, Córdoba). Biografía de un contexto sepulcral con restos orgánicos de la Edad del Cobre

    Open AccessRafael M Martínez Sánchez, M Dolores Bretones García et al.ARTICLEZephyrvs2024

    Las prácticas funerarias del IV y III milenio cal ac se caracterizan en la mayor parte de la Península Ibérica por la generalización de la arquitectura megalítica, en paralelo a las importantes transformaciones sociales que tienen lugar a lo largo de la denominada Edad del Cobre. Al mismo tiempo, proliferan enterramientos colectivos en cuevas naturales en zonas montañosas del área meridional de Iberia, muchos de los cuales parecen compartir usos …

  • Dressing Situla people

    Open AccessMargarita Gleba, Karina Grömer et al.ARTICLEArheološki vestnik2024

    This contribution examines the Iron Age textiles (8th−4th century BCE) kept at the Dolenjski muzej in Novo mesto, Slovenia, with the aim of identifying their raw materials, technologies, functions and social significance and situating them in a wider European context. The primary textile weave identified is a wool twill, which is typical for the Hallstatt culture and Italic textile traditions. Wool quality analysis indicates a local raw material …

  • Une mode avant la mode

    Open AccessMargarita Gleba, Timothy McCall et al.ARTICLEPerspective2023

    En Chine du temps de la dynastie Jin (266-420), un homme d’une trentaine d’années, brun et exceptionnellement grand, fut momifié à Yingpan alors qu’il avait succombé à une maladie mortelle. Yingpan, située dans le bassin du Tarim dans le nord-est de la Chine, était un nœud commercial sur les florissantes routes de la soie. Découvert en 1995, celui que l’on a appelé « l’homme de Yingpan » est devenu le résident le plus célèbre du cimetière (fig. 1…

  • The Perishable Material Culture of the Pontic Steppe Scythians

    Open AccessMarina Daragan, Leonid Leontyev et al.ARTICLEOxford Journal of Archaeology2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 12

    Using the organic artefacts from the fourth‐century BC grave at Bulhakovo in southern Ukraine, this article discusses the economics of the perishable material culture of the Scythians of the Pontic Steppe region. Thanks to the survival of organic materials (wood, leather, textiles), the burial provides important information about the complex networks of production and exchange that existed in European Scythia. Scientific analyses produced new dat…

  • From tools to production

    Open AccessBela Dimova, Margarita GlebaARTICLEArchaeological Reports2021Citada por: 1

    The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the latest developments in the textile archaeology of Greece and the broader Aegean from the Neolithic through to the Roman period, focusing in particular on recent research on textile tools. Spindle-whorls and loomweights appeared in the Aegean during the Neolithic and by the Early Bronze Age weaving on the warp-weighted loom was well established across the region. Recent methodological advances …

  • Naval power and textile technology

    Bela Dimova, Harri et al.ARTICLEWorld Archaeology2021Citada por: 3Referencias: 1

    Sails and textile technology played a key role in enabling mobility and thus shaping historical phenomena such as migration, trade, the acquisition and maintenance of imperial power in the ancient Mediterranean. Yet sails are nearly absent from analyses of ancient fleets, even in extensively studied cases like that of Classical Athens. This paper examines the demand and production of sailcloth, including labour and material requirements, and logi…

  • Tools for Textiles

    Open AccessJoanne Cutler, Bela Dimova et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 21

    This paper discusses some of the insights that have been gained from the study of the textile tools from the Etruscan settlement of Poggio Civitate di Murlo and coeval textiles recovered from the adjacent cemetery site of Poggio Aguzzo di Murlo. Over 1,600 textile tools (including spindle whorls, loom weights, and spools) are analysed from a functional perspective, and results suggest that the textiles found in burials were likely produced at the…

  • Colouring the Mediterranean

    Open AccessBeatriz Marín-Aguilera, Francesco Iacono et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mediterranean…2019Citada por: 6Referencias: 6

    Purple textiles were highly valued in the ancient Mediterranean as a symbol of prestige, social status and power. Despite the numerous publications focused on the production and spread of purple dye technologies, the discussion regarding this particular dye has often been compartmentalised regionally (eastern or western Mediterranean) and chronologically (second or first millennium bc). The aim of this paper is threefold: (1) to propose a full ch…

  • The first plant bast fibre technology

    Open AccessMargarita Gleba, Harri et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2019Citada por: 36Referencias: 17

    Recent research into plant bast fibre technology points to a Neolithic European \ntradition of working fibres into threads by splicing, rather than draft spinning. The major \nissue now is the ability of textile specialists and archaeobotanists to distinguish the \ntechnology of splicing from draft spun fibres. This paper defines the major types of \nsplicing and proposes a method to observe, identify and interpret spliced thread \ntechnology. Th…

  • Wool textiles and archaeometry

    Open AccessIrene Skals, Margarita Gleba et al.ARTICLEDanish Journal of Archaeology2018

    Characterisations of ancient sheep breeds and wool types and theories about wool fibre processing are integral parts of textile archaeology. The studies build on statistical calculations of measurements of wool fibre diameters and reveal characteristics of the yarns that are attributed to the available raw wool and to the production methods of the time. Different microscope types have been used for data collection. Presently digital images from e…

  • At the Crossroads of Textile Cultures

    Open AccessMargarita Gleba, Christian Heitz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mediterranean…2018Citada por: 3

    Textiles are seldom included within socioeconomic interpretative frameworks of the ancient northern Mediterranean region, although several recent studies have begun to address this lacuna. The Archaic/ Classical site of Ripacandida (Basilicata), located in the southern Apennines, has yielded both textiles and textile tools, providing an unprecedented opportunity to examine textile production and use at an indigenous south Italian site. This study…

  • Wrapped Up for Safe Keeping

    Margarita GlebaCHAPTERWrapping and Unwrapping Material…2016

    This chapter presents some preliminary observations on the different categories of wrapping and their possible meanings. It suggests that, frequently, in addition to being used for clothing, textiles in burials were utilised for wrapping either human remains or objects placed together with human remains as burial gifts. The chapter outlines different purposes and intentions, and provides protection they most likely carried other, deeper significa…

  • Textile technology in Nepal in the 5th-7th centuries CE

    Open AccessMargarita Gleba, Ina Vanden Berghe et al.ARTICLESTAR Science & Technology of…2016

    The first results of textile and dye analyses of cloth remains recovered in Samdzong, Upper Mustang, Nepal, are presented. The site consists of ten shaft tombs, dated between the 400-650 CE, cut into a high cliff face at an elevation of 4000 m asl. The dry climate and high altitude favoured the exceptional preservation of organic materials. One of the objects recovered from the elite Samdzong 5 tomb complex is composed of wool fabrics to which co…

  • The World of Etruscan Textiles

    Margarita GlebaCHAPTEREtruscan World2015

    Textiles were fundamental in Etruscan world and surviving evidence illustrates their abundance and variety. Garments, utilitarian fabrics, sails, even books were made of textiles. Different functions required different properties, which in turn demanded different choices and careful planning at various stages of textile production, as well as substantial material and human resources. In their role enabling wealth creation through enhanced quantit…
