Textiles in the News - Ep 149

View on Zencastr

In segment 1 we discuss a recent article about 25 burials found at the Chan Chan archaeological site in Peru, and the textile objects they were buried with. Segment 2 is all about new evidence for the type of material used to weave cloth at Çatalhöyük, 8000-9000 years ago. And finally, archaeological evidence in Britain shows how Neolithic weavers joined bast fibers using a splicing technique that has been developed at many times and in many places around the world.

In this week’s archaeology news, we discuss three articles that captured our attention! The first is all about the ancient Dahka fabric, how it was produced, and how that knowledge has been lost to time. The second is an article about a Bohemian grave in the Czech Republic with unique grave goods. And the final story is about an ancient bone tool found in Australia.
