Description
Published in Origini n. XL/2017. Rivista annuale del Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Antichità – “Sapienza” Università di Roma | Preistoria e protostoria delle civiltà antiche – Prehistory and protohistory of ancient civilizations | This paper presents some observations regarding loom weights found inside a Late Archaic house in the Achaean colony of Kaulonia. The weights were analysed using new methods of investigation developed by the Centre for Textile Research, Copenhagen. The results indicate that cloth of varying dimensions was woven in the household for day-to-day household needs, with one main loom and two smaller looms.
