Description
The North European Symposium for Archaeological Textiles (NESAT) was founded in 1981 as a discussion forum between various disciplines: textile archaeologists, historians, art historians, natural scientists, conservators and craftspeople. The 12th symposium was organized by the Natural History Museum Vienna from 21st to 24th May 2014 in Hallstatt, Austria. After introducing Austrian textile research and prehistoric textile finds from Europe the main corpus of the articles of the conference volume deals with textiles and clothing from early medieval to the early modern period. Further papers focus on tools and textile production, object based research, experimental archaeology and investigation of written sources. The book, therefore, provides a wealth of information on recent research being undertaken into archaeological textiles from sites in Central and Northern Europe.
