Lady in wool and silk
Wool and silk are regarded as hallmarks of distinctly separate climates and environments, textile and tailoring crafts, social status and fashion regions. Wool was the domestic material for clothing in the Tarim Basin when silk became widely available some 2000 years ago. The multi-layered garment of a young woman discovered by a Sino-Japanese team in 1995 in tomb 95MN1M5 at the Niya site consists of both materials and shows an astonishing variet…
Fabric and Leather Item from a Hungarian Burial on the Left Bank of the Lower Dniester

The pouch was constructed from imported silk fabric (samit) and featured a component made of human skin. Its upper section was secured with a drawstring, and t…
The earliest directly dated saddle for horse-riding from a mid-1st millennium BCE female burial in Northwest China
The invention of the saddle substantially improved horseback-riding, which not only revolutionized warfare, but also eased long-distance speedy movement across Eurasia. Here we present the first detailed construction analysis and absolute age determination of a well-preserved soft leather saddle recovered from the tomb of a female deceased at the Yanghai cemetery site in the Turfan Basin at the eastern end of the Tian Shan mountains. Compared wit…
Textile and Felt Items from Scythian Graves of the 4th-2nd centuries BC Found on the Left Bank of the Lower Dniester
The article deals with textile finds from Scythian graves found on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. The study of textile and felt from this region was carried out for the first time. The study of woven fragments from five burials showed that they are the remains of linen linings of leather covers for bronze mirrors. It has been established that these covers could be decorated with embroidery or beads. Two other burials contained women's headd…
No borders for innovations
The first millennium BCE was pivotal for the environment and for human societies in Central and Eastern Eurasia because transformations accelerated and altered natural and cultural landscapes to hitherto unknown dimensions. Among the major driving forces was the increasing use of horse riding, which extended range of movement significantly and led to the development of cavalry units as a part of large armies. Empires with enormous outreach and gr…
