About Wool Economy in the Ancient Near East and the Aegean: From the Beginnings of Sheep Husbandry to Institutional Textile Industry (Ancient Textiles)

The history of the Ancient Near East covers a huge chronological frame, from the first pictographic texts of the late 4th millennium to the conquest of Alexander the Great in 333 BC. During these millennia, different societies developed in a changing landscape where sheep (and their wool) always played an important economic role. The 22 papers presented here explore the place of wool in the ancient economy of the region, where large-scale textile production began during the second half of the 3rd millennium. By placing emphasis on the development of multi-disciplinary methodologies, experimentation and use of archaeological evidence combined with ancient textual sources, the wide-ranging contributions explore a number of key themes. These the first uses of wool in textile manufacture and organization of weaving; trade and exchange; the role of wool in institutionalized economies; and the reconstruction of the processes that led to this first form of industry in Antiquity. The numerous archaeological and written sources provide an enormous amount of data on wool, textile crafts, and clothing and these inter-disciplinary studies are beginning to present a comprehensive picture of the economic and cultural impact of woolen textiles and textile manufacturing on formative ancient societies.Table of ContentsForeword and AcknowledgementsWool Economy in the Ancient Near East and the Aegeanby Catherine Breniquet and Cecile Michel1 Bronze and Iron Age Wools from Europeby Antoinette Rast-Eicher2 The Expansion of Sheep Herding and the Development of Wool Production in the Ancient Near An Archaeozoological and Iconographical Approachby Emmanuelle Vila and Daniel Helmer3 Sheep, Wool and Textile Production, an Interdisciplinary Approach on the Complexity of Wool Workingby Eva Andersson Strand4 The Archaeology of Wool in Early Sources, Methods, Perspectivesby Catherine Breniquet5 Lambs of the Gods.
