Felting Between East and West
The tradition of felt-making today is closely associated with nomadic peoples. The archaeological remains of felt are sparse. Sizable fragments have been recovered from graves at Pazyryk and Noin Ula. Designs from felt occur in other arts, spanning a longer time frame that makes reconstructing a tentative history of felt-making possible. There is clear evidence from China expressed in ceramic designs and from felt designs on Turkish coins. Modern…

Investigation of Islamic ceramics from Tell Tuneinir using X‐ray diffraction
In this study, X‐ray diffraction (XRD) is applied to select ceramics, particularly dating to the Ayyoubid (A.D. 1174–1250) period from Tell Tuneinir in Syria. Because XRD has not been commonly applied to archaeological ceramics, a thorough background of the technique is given, with emphasis on quantitative measurements of quartz and calcite tempers. Several compositional groups based on raw materials and firing conditions emerge. While most ceram…
Infra-red Spectroscopy of Ceramics from Tell Brak, Syria
Scholarship and a Controversial Group of Safavid Carpets
Although Islamic textiles, particularly the knotted pile carpet, are held in high esteem by their cultures of origin, they have more often than not been subjected to unreliable scholarship. This is particulalrly the case with Persian carpets because there are so few examples surviving from earlier periods. The earliest Persian carpets, as opposed to depictions of carpets on miniatures, that can be reliably dated are from the sixteenth century. A …
Arab” Textiles in the Near East
Beginning in the seventh century, the expansion of Islam brought with it an outpouring of peoples from the Arabian Peninsula. While the composition of these Islamic armies became more diverse as the religion spread through the Near East and across North Africa to Western Europe, there were clearly elements of both the urban Arabian population, of which the Prophet was a member, and the rural Bedouins, whose migrations from their original homeland…
The past re-made: The Case of Oriental Carpets
Old carpets, as informative material objects, are therefore the proper stuff of archaeology. Aspects of the carpet world offer food for thought as to how entities we recognize among the debris of antiquity come to be recognized and valued. Here James Mellaaart's recorded paintings from Çatal Hüyük, which 'surfaced' a generation after the dig was completed, have now come to have an unexpected role
