Its dry climate means that Egypt boasts an exceptionally rich
heritage of preserved ancient textiles. Since 1996, the
international research group Textiles from the Nile Valley has been
studying these Roman, Byzantine and early-Islamic textile
artefacts, many of which have found their way into European and
North American museum collections. The research group, consisting
of curators, archaeologists, textile conservators and scientists,
organises a biennial conference at Katoen Natie HeadquARTers in
Antwerp, and publishes a series of unique books on the importance
of Egyptian textiles. This latest volume brings together the
findings from the 11th conference, which was held from 25 to 27
October 2019. The focus is on the history of textile excavating and
collecting, which goes back to the late 19th century. The book
contains 18 text contributions describing recent fieldwork,
conservation treatments and scientific research worldwide, in
collaboration with major universities and museums such as the
Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Hermitage in St.
Petersburg. The book is being published to mark the 12th
international scientific Textiles from the Nile Valley Conference,
which is taking place from 12 to 14 November 2021 in Antwerp. Text
in English and German.
