Textile production is one of the most important crafts in Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean
Bronze Age societies and recent interdisciplinary and collaborative work offers crucial
new perspectives into this field. The new and updated catalogue of archaeological
textile finds presented here clearly demonstrates, even from the few extant finds,
that knowledge of the use of fibres and of elaborate textile techniques that were
used to produce textiles of different qualities was well developed.00The functional
analysis of spindle whorls and loom weights can be explored through experimental archaeology
employing newly developed methodologies. The results bring new insights into 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.0
