Multidisciplinary Approaches for the Investigation of Textiles and Fibres in the Archaeological Field

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。

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).

Francesca Coletti 是一位專注於紡織品和纖維分析的古典考古學家。她是羅馬薩賓納大學的研究員，參與的項目為「赫庫蘭尼姆的考古學、考古計量學及考古紡織品的數位化」（該職位因獲得2023年歐洲卓越印章而得）。自2018年以來，她在薩賓納大學教授「紡織品的考古學與考古計量學」課程，並參與多個專注於希臘、義大利和土耳其紡織品的跨學科項目。2020年，她在海德堡大學和薩賓納大學共同指導下獲得博士學位，論文題目為「龐貝的紡織品：材料、技術與背景」，研究人類石膏模型上的布料和紡織印痕。她的研究是「龐貝的紡織文化」項目的一部分，與考古公園合作，研究和回收在新挖掘中發現的布料。得益於近期的國內和國際資助，Coletti目前參與兩個合作研究項目，這些項目在薩賓納大學的跨系研究中心「A3TEX：古代紡織品的考古學與考古計量學」框架下進行，分別為TEXTaiLES（HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-ECCCH-01-02，數位化文化遺產的創新工具）和ADigText（「古代紡織品的考古學、考古計量學及數位化，從龐貝到羅馬帝國」）（PRIN 2022，首席研究員M. Galli教授，聯合首席研究員M. Gleba教授）。

Christina Margariti 受過紡織品保護專家的訓練，擁有南安普敦大學紡織品保護中心的紡織品保護碩士學位，並在該校完成了關於挖掘紡織品分析的博士學位。她曾是哥本哈根大學的MSCA研究員（項目FIBRANET）。她是希臘文化部保護局應用研究部門的負責人，並在雅典科技教育學院及哥本哈根大學SAXO研究所的紡織研究中心教授紡織品保護和分析。
