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. The identification of spliced yarns is evaluated through the examination of \ntextiles from Europe, Egypt and the Near East. Through the application of this method \nwe propose that the switch from splicing to draft spinning plant fibres occurred much \nlater than previously thought. The ramifications of this shift in plant processing has \nprofound implications for understanding the chaîne opératoire of this ubiquitous and \ntime-consuming technology
