In the ancient civilizations of the Eastern Mediterranean, textiles
were generally much more costly than foodstuffs, animals or
bronzes; it is very likely that the same was the case throughout
prehistoric Europe. In this study, the first for over seventy
years, Klavs Randsborg examines completely preserved woollen
dresses, both female and male, from Danish oak coffin graves of the
early second millennium BC. These garments, matched in age and
superb preservation only by finds from Ancient Egypt, along with
related artefacts such as images and figurines, are used to build
up a rich picture of Bronze Age society and culture in the context
of archaeological, ethnographical and historical information from
Europe and beyond.
