Byssus
John Gatenby Bolton 1922-1993
Historical Records of Australian Science publishes peer-reviewed articles and book reviews on the history of science and scientists in Australia and the southwest Pacific, biographical memoirs of deceased Fellows of the Academy, and an annual bibliography of the history of Australian science
Reports on Projects Funded by the Institute's Research Grants in 1986
A Find of Roman Scale Armour from Carpow
Excavations on the Antonine Wall fort of Rough Castle, Stirlingshire, 1957-61
NS 843798. The N and W ramparts of the fort and part of the praetentura were examined. The 'additional margins' of the W rampart were shown to be an ascensus on the inside, and interleaved road surfaces and rampart tumble on the outside. The earliest structures in the praetentura appeared to be temporary and were followed by two timber buildings, presumably barrack-blocks. All evidence for putative Antonine II buildings had been removed in 1903 b…

Button-and-Loop Fasteners in the Roman Provinces
For over sixty years the type of fastener under review in this note has been known to archaeologists in Britain as a dress- or cloak-fastener. It is characterized by a button-like head from the back of which a shank or loop projects. The shank is bent at an angle of 90° so as to lie roughly parallel to the head, but it remains slightly offset
The Textile Term Scutulatus
The received translation and interpretation of many of the technical terms current in the textile industry of the Roman Empire are inaccurate, because lexicographers have either fought shy of being precise, or have thought that they recognized in the ancient world technical processes which originated at a much later date. The evidence is often equivocal or insufficient, but may still yield details that have been overlooked. The textile expression…
The Use of Image Analysis to Determine Yarn Twist Level in Archaeological Textiles
An analysis of the structure of archaeological textiles can give an insight into different traditions, geographic origins or technologies associated with the textile production. An important parameter in this context is the level and direction of yarn twist. In this paper a new quantitative method of yarn twist measurement is described. Using image analysis techniques a measure of the mean twist level and the variation in twist can be determined.…
