Bronze Age Woollen Textile Production in England: A Consideration of Evidence and Potentials

Abstract: Responding to recent advances in knowledge about the first arrival of woollen sheep in Europe and linked investigations of textile remains on the Continent, this paper argues that our insight into the role of wool in the English Bronze Age needs rethinking. We argue that the relevant questions are: when did the procurement of and working with wool become a routine aspect of settlement life, and did the change from plant fibres to wool affect communities differently? The paper outlines some of the core research… Show more

“…Moreover, there has been no systematic investigation of gender across the continent and the validity of projecting a gender model from disparate evidence remains to be tested. This is particularly pertinent given noticeable differences in settlement form, nucleation, and daily practices, for example in the uneven distribution of wool technology (Haughton et al, 2021).…”

“…En ese sentido, su homogeneidad tipológica y su heterogeneidad métrica permiten asociarlas con un mayor grado de especialización productiva posiblemente relacionado con la incorporación de forma generalizada de la lana como fibra textil a partir de mediados del ii milenio cal ac, tal y como se propone para el resto de territorios europeos (Sabatini et al, 2018;Kristiansen y Stig Sørensen, 2019). De hecho, es durante ese momento cuando esta tipología específica se consolida en zonas como Inglaterra (Haughton et al, 2021) o, especialmente, el n de Italia (Bazzanella y Mayr, 2009;Sabatini y Bergerbrant, 2019), donde también se expande, como sucede en yacimientos peninsulares como Cabezo Redondo (Basso, 2018b), R. E. Basso Rial, F. J. Jover Maestre y J. A. López Padilla / Estratigrafía, radiocarbono y producción textil: 109 seriación cronotipológica de las pesas de telar de la Edad del Bronce en el cuadrante suroriental de la península ibérica el uso de una amplia diversidad de fusayolas, asociadas a la especialización en el hilado de lana de diferentes calidades (Sabatini et al, 2018).…”
