Archaeologists and textile historians bring together 16 papers to
investigate the production, trade and consumption of textiles in
Scandinavia and across parts of northern and Mediterranean Europe
throughout the medieval period. Archaeological evidence is used to
demonstrate the existence or otherwise of international trade and
to examine the physical characteristics of textiles and their
distribution in order to understand who was producing, using and
trading them and what they were being used for. Historical
evidence, mainly textual, is employed to link textile names to
places, numbers and prices and thus provide an appreciation of
changing economics, patterns of distribution and the organisation
of trade. Different types and qualities of cloths are discussed and
the social implications of their production and import/export
considered against a developing background of urbanism and
increasing commercial wealth.
