Title: Textiles in Archaeology
Description: Shire, 1988. Paperback. Pp: 68. Only certain environmental conditions permit the preservation of textiles, such as the peat bogs of northwest Europe and the arid deserts of Egypt. In this short guide to textiles in archaeology Wild explains the processes involved in textile manufacture, from sheep to finished garment.
