Textiles tools, fabrics, and craftspeople in Wielbark culture

A holistic approach to the evidence for textile production from Czarnówko, Lubowidz and Wilkowo, Poland

Presentation by Magdalena Przymorska.

Abstract

The aim of the project "Textiles tools, fabrics and craftspeople in Wielbark culture. Holistic approach to the evidence for textile production from Czarnówko, Lubowidz and Wilkowo as the case studies" is a comprehensive look at the relationship among the types of textile tools, thread and fabrics produced with their help, and people who made them. The project is based on artefacts discovered in the Wielbark culture cemeteries in Czarnówko, Lubowidz and Wilkowo, Poland. Those sites, explored almost entirely, provided a rich set of textile tools – spindle whorls, distaffs, needles, and so-called hook-shaped pins (which are interpreted as the remains of spindles), as well as one of the most numerous collections of fabrics from the Roman period in Poland.

A free discussion among all participants will follow the lecture.

Zoom Link

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer Zoom participation for the foreseeing future. As always,
everyone is welcome to join us in person at the university!

CTR Meeting

The preceding hour (at 14:00-15:00), is mainly considered an administrative meeting for CTR members. Yet, if anyone else wants to join, you are most welcome. The meeting will consist of general administrative and CTR-related news and information as well as a round of “News around the table”, where everybody is expected to give a short update on their projects. Anyone participating during this part is expected to join in, regardless of whether or not you are a CTR member.
