and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age
Textile production is one of the most important crafts in Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean
Bronze Age societies. Tools, Textiles and Contexts is the result of recent interdisciplinary and
collaborative work which offers crucial new perspectives into this field. This includes a new
and updated catalogue of archaeological textile finds which clearly demonstrates, even from
the few extant finds, that knowledge of the use of fibres and of elaborate textile techniques
which were used to produce textiles of different qualities was well developed.
Methodologies developed for experimental archaeology are employed to conduct the
functional analysis of recovered spindle whorls and loom weights. The results bring new
information on the types of textile that may potentially have been made by such tools. This is
highly pertinent as textile tools often constitute the single most important and plentiful type
of evidence for the various stages of textile production in the archaeological record.
The combination of experimental archaeology, analyses of textile tools and find contexts
allow for a discussion of the nature of textile production at different sites, regions and time
periods. A collaboration between archaeologists specialised in their site and textile tool
specialists has produced data sets of a large number of textile tools from several Bronze
Age settlements, e.g. Khania, Malia, Midea, Tiryns, Troia and Tel Kabri. The results of these
analyses provide unique insights into both the production processes and, significantly, into
the range of types of textiles that could have been produced at specific sites. The crucial
social and economic impact of textile production in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean
Bronze Age Societies is clearly revealed.
(MAIS) and the Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre for Textile Research
(CTR) have made it possible to portray Ebla textile production. For weaving, the
ground loom and the two-beam loom were the preferred technologies; the spinning
tools, including spindle whorls, show gradual development and changes from the
Early Bronze Age to the Middle Bronze Age, with the introduction of new types of
tools and materials, reduced sizes and weights, likely indicating that thinner yarn and
finer textiles were becoming more abundant.
Inscriptions in the Cretan Hieroglyphic script were also engraved on this type of seal. The graphic form of several hieroglyphic syllabograms has already been recognised as a schematic depiction of physical objects (animals, plants, tools, etc.) that, furthermore, represented speech sounds. These included the syllabogram CHIC 041, representing a piece of textile with fringes. In this paper, we argue that more textile production-related motifs may have been encoded into the schematic form of the Cretan Hieroglyphic syllabograms. While presenting this new iconographic interpretation and our research methodology, we will compare the schematic forms of the signs with other motifs in glyptic dating to the same period and possibly representing the same physical objects. We also observe the visual similarity of some of the discussed motifs with motifs that were present in the Mesopotamian glyptic, though the dates of these are one millennium earlier than the prismatic seals from Crete.
The presented study has been undertaken within a research project ‘Textiles and Seals. Relations between Textile Production and Seals and Sealing Practices in Bronze Age Greece’ funded by the National Science Centre, Poland in the Institute of Archaeology, University of Warsaw (UMO-2017/26/D/HS3/00145) and directed by A. Ulanowska.
This communication presents an exceptional find from Western Greece, a well-preserved collection of archaeological textiles. The textiles’ provenance is the
Proto-geometric burial site (approx. 1050-900 B.C.) of Stamna in Aetolia, an
extensive cemetery of more than 600 Early Iron Age burials. The site was
excavated by the Greek archaeological service as a rescue excavation in 2003
under the direction of Dr. L. Kolonas.
Among the numerous and important finds of the cemetery there are three bronze
cauldrons covered with textiles, which are preserved by mineralization. Of the
three vessels, one is entirely preserved and is positioned on a tripod, a second is
preserved without the legs and from a third only textile fragments are preserved.
The fabrics inside the vessels are densely packed around human bones and
carbonized fruits. The textiles are partly tightly packed into the 3 vessels, and partly placed on top of them. They are in a fragile state, but still so well preserved that analyses could be carried out.
A preliminary study revealed several types of weaves and a wide range of
qualities, from a net-like structure of thick and coarse threads, to extremely fine
fabrics of exceptionally thin threads and very high thread counts.
There seem to be at least 6 types of weave: 2 coarse and 4 fine types. Some fabrics
are of a very fine quality, with thread counts of up to 80/cm. Some of them are
faced, some are balanced, and they all seem to be tabbies. One uncommon weave
is not yet identified. All threads are z-spun. The diversity of the Stamna textiles
demonstrate different items of a variety of techniques (i.e. fine clothing or coarse
wrapping material), and not one single shroud. Our current analyses include C14
for specified dating, fiber analysis, and HPLC and FTIR analyses to identify dyes
and fibers.
One of the fine fabrics still preserves purple coloured stripes. Chemical dye
analyses (HPLC) have demonstrated evidence of true murex purple which
coloured the broad bands of dyed yarn. The examination by electron microscopy
reveals evidence for the use of scaled keratin fibres indicating wool. High amounts
of iron and minor amounts of copper and sulfur are found by SEM-EDX analysis.
The threads are heavily mineralized and covered by a thick metallic layer.
The Stamna textiles represent one of the largest assemblages of archaeological
textiles preserved in the Aegean; it is a substantial addition to the quite meager
catalogue of Early Iron Age textiles from Greece and thus a significant
contribution to our understanding of the Early Iron Age textile cultures of Europe.
