商品描述

This book is dedicated to the analytical methods and approaches applied to ancient textiles and fibres. It offers an overview of textile archaeology as an archaeological discipline, presenting its history and developments up to state of the art approaches in the study of textiles fibres. It demonstrates how various fields of research have contributed to the development and growth of the discipline.

It establishes that fibre identification is a key element in ancient textile studies, showing its importance in understanding a large variety of economic and social aspects of human societies. However, fibre identification in archaeological textiles is not a straightforward task, mainly due to the vast variety of fibres people used in antiquity to make textiles and the more often than not poor condition of preservation of excavated textiles. Currently, comprehensive studies on more traditional fibre identification techniques, such as Scanning Electron and Optical microscopy, spectroscopic techniques (e.g. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy - FTIR, Raman) and recent advances in αDNA and paleoproteomics, along with experiments on artificial ageing and deterioration of textiles, constitute a promising path down the exploration and analysis of archaeological textiles. This book shows how these techniques have advanced the discipline of textile archaeology and contributed to our understanding of the past.

This volume brings together scholars investigating fibres in a holistic way, by the incorporation of a variety of methods, in order to improve the current methodological approaches in the study and conservation of textiles and related material.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書專注於應用於古代紡織品和纖維的分析方法與途徑。它提供了紡織考古學作為一門考古學科的概述,介紹了其歷史及發展,並展示了當前在紡織纖維研究中的先進方法。書中說明了各個研究領域如何促進該學科的發展與成長。

本書確立了纖維鑑定在古代紡織品研究中的關鍵地位,顯示其在理解人類社會各種經濟和社會層面中的重要性。然而,考古紡織品中的纖維鑑定並非一項簡單的任務,主要是因為古代人們用來製作紡織品的纖維種類繁多,且挖掘出來的紡織品往往保存狀況不佳。目前,對於更傳統的纖維鑑定技術(如掃描電子顯微鏡和光學顯微鏡、光譜技術(例如傅立葉變換紅外光譜 - FTIR、拉曼光譜)以及最近在αDNA和古蛋白質組學方面的進展,結合對紡織品的人工老化和劣化實驗,構成了探索和分析考古紡織品的有前景的途徑。本書展示了這些技術如何推進紡織考古學的學科發展,並促進我們對過去的理解。

本卷匯集了以整體方式研究纖維的學者,通過整合多種方法,以改善當前在紡織品及相關材料的研究和保護中的方法論。

作者簡介

Francesca Coletti is a classical archaeologist specialised in textile and fiber analysis. She is a research fellow at Sapienza University of Rome with the project "Archaeology, Archaeometry, and Digitalisation of Archaeological Textiles from Herculaneum" (position obtained thanks to the European Seal of Excellence 2023). Since 2018, she has taught the "Archaeology and Archaeometry of Textiles" course at Sapienza University, and she has been involved in several interdisciplinary projects focused on textiles from Greece, Italy, and Turkey. In 2020, she received her PhD, in co-tutorship at Heidelberg and Sapienza Universities, with the thesis "The Textiles of Pompeii: Materials, Techniques and Contexts", investigating the fabrics and textile imprints on human plaster casts. Her research is part of the project "Textile Culture in Pompeii" in cooperation with the Archaeological Park, with which she collaborates to study and recover fabrics found during the new excavations. Thanks to recent national and international grants, Coletti is currently engaged in two collaborative research projects in the framework of the interdepartmental research centre at Sapienza "A3TEX. Archaeology and Archaeometry of Ancient Textile" TEXTaiLES (HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-ECCCH-01-02, Innovative Tools for Digitising Cultural Heritage) and ADigText ("Archaeology, Archaeometry and Digitalisation of Ancient Textile. From Pompeii to the Roman Empire") (PRIN 2022. PI Prof. M. Galli, Co-PI Prof. M. Gleba).

Christina Margariti trained as textile conservator, MA in Textile Conservation, at the Textile Conservation Centre/University of Southampton, where she also completed her PhD on the analysis of excavated textiles. She was a MSCA Fellow at the University of Copenhagen (project FIBRANET). She is the Head of the Applied Research Department of the Directorate of Conservation/ Hellenic Ministry of Culture and has taught textile conservation and analysis at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens, and the Centre for Textile Research/SAXO Institute, University of Copenhagen.

Vanessa Forte is a prehistoric archaeologist at Sapienza University of Rome, specialising in ancient technology and use-wear analysis on ceramics and clay objects. After earning her Ph.D. from Sapienza University, she was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at Cambridge University (UK), focusing on craft specialisation. She later worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Universities of Pisa and Padova, collaborating with international research groups. She integrates archaeometric analyses, technological traces, use-wear studies, and experimental archaeology to reconstruct and investigate the socio-cultural dynamics of ancient societies.

Stella Spantidaki is a Classical archaeologist specialised in textile archaeology of ancient Greece. In her PhD, conducted at the Universities of the Sorbonne and the Heidelberg University, she focused in textile production in Classical Athens. In her research, she uses interdisciplinary methodology and studies all available sources for textile production and consumption in antiquity. Since 2015 she is the Director of ARTEX, a research centre in Athens specialising in the study and scientific analyses of archaeological textiles. Currently she is the PI in the Project FAROS, "The Fabric of Kings: Funerary Textiles from Mycenae and the early Mycenaean textile production", hosted at the University of the Peloponnese and funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI, pr. no. 7354, 2023-2025).
