Textiles as a Medium of Exchange in Third Millennium B.C.E. Western Asia
Contact and Exchange in the Ancient World
Do civilizations independently invent themselves or are they the result of cultural diffusion? The contributors to this volume do not attempt to provide a definitive answer to this contentious question, one of the most debated issues of the past century. Instead, they shift the focus from theory to reality by presenting empirical evidence on a wide range of cultural phenomena in history and prehistory, thereby demonstrating the processes whereby …
Changes in Fiber Use and Spinning Technologies on the Iranian Plateau
Spindle whorls are an ubiquitous artifact, yet can often be elusive in their interpretation. Nomenclature inconsistencies make comparative studies challenging, and lack of information or detail on primary context can compromise efforts to reconstruct the organization of textile production. Given these limitations, several important technical studies of spindle whorls have recently appeared in the literature, allowing a broad comparative study to …

New Evidence for Early Silk in the Indus Civilization
Silk is an important economic fibre, and is generally considered to have been the exclusive cultural heritage of China. Silk weaving is evident from the Shang period c. 1600–1045 bc , though the earliest evidence for silk textiles in ancient China may date to as much as a millennium earlier. Recent microscopic analysis of archaeological thread fragments found inside copper‐alloy ornaments from Harappa and steatite beads from Chanhu‐daro, two impo…
Characterization of dyestuffs in ancient textiles from Xinjiang

Archaeological Textiles
Archaeological textile studies are now recognized as a robust source of information for anthropological inquiry. Over the past two decades several important developments have taken place, enabling a more integrated approach to their study than in the past. Topics addressed range from the development of methods for analyzing degraded fibers to the comparative study of specific histories of textile and clothing traditions. Archaeological textile st…
Quseir Al-Qadim, Egypt, and the Potential of Archaeological Pollen Analysis in the Near East
Rising and falling percentages of non-arboreal pollen at Quseir Al-Qadim, a Mamluk seaport founded on the Egyptian Red Sea Coast during the 13th century, correlate with cultivated cereal pollen distributions and record soil disturbance reflecting land-use patterns similar to those registered in prehistoric sites in the SW United States. It would seem that the kinds of cultural questions asked of pollen data in arid North America can be addressed …
On the question of silk in pre-Han Eurasia
When was silk first brought across the steppe from far China towards the European world? There is silk from the Middle Bronze Age of Uzbekistan, in Scythian burials of Siberia and among the Hallstatt grave-goods of western Europe. Teasing out the story of silk depends on identifying the textile, and distinguishing its several varieties apart
