Ancient Landscapes of Textile Production

The TRiVAL project hosts an interdisciplinary conference on textile production.

The aim of the conference  is to demonstrate the value and importance of interdisciplinary research archaeology, and, more importantly, to show how this combined knowledge can provide new insights and perspectives when investigating landscapes. The presentations will offer theories and methods necessary to understand not only landscapes but also textiles and textile production and illustrate how they can be applied to any period or region. 

The conference will bring together experts from a wide range of research fields, including textile research, archaeology, ancient history, history, digital archaeology, biomolecular science, biology, and osteology, enabling them to join forces and share knowledge.

This conference will discuss and demonstrate how landscape analysis of textile resources, through interdisciplinary methods and the analyses of textiles, textile tools, and contextual investigations can provide new and important insights into the variation, organisation, and impact of textile production in ancient societies.
