Little is known about the material choices and the techniques applied during the manufacturing of objects made of plant fibres, for example cords, ropes and nets, during the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic periods in Europe. The results of this project will close this research gap. Archaeological finds made of plant fibres have been made available for this project by five international and national museums and heritage agencies. Written letters of confirmation are attached. The archaeological finds of plant fibres date between 8000 cal BC and 3600 cal BC, thereby facilitating a diachronic comparison of the material choices and manufacturing processes for these objects. Specialist botanical knowledge and specialised laboratory facilities are essential for the systematic analysis of archaeological finds made of organic materials. Innovative analytical methods will be applied for the first time in the identification of the plant material chosen for the production of the objects. The following methods will be employed in combination: electronic microscopy, aDNA analysis, micro-computed tomography and Fourier Transform Raman spectroscopy. The application of these techniques, and the results obtained, will be continually evaluated with all involved partners, during the entire analysis phase. The main goal of the project is the development of a new, efficient and reliable methodology for the identification of archaeological textile finds, thereby rendering redundant time consuming and expensive microscopic examination. A second goal is reconstruction of the complex processes involved in the production of prehistoric cords, ropes and nets. This will be explored by way of practical experiments undertaken in conjunction with students from the FU Berlin. The results will be presented in a small exhibition and an accompanying brochure for the public. The reproductions will be offered to museums for display in their permanent exhibitions. Ethnographic sources will also be consulted to gather information about long-term technological developments and traditions relating to products made of bast fibres. An international, interdisciplinary workshop will be organised, and the results of the project will be published in several peer-reviewed journals.

在欧洲中石器时代和新石器时代早期，人们对植物纤维制品（例如绳索和网）的材料选择和制造过程中应用的技术知之甚少。该项目的结果将弥补这一研究空白。五个国际和国家博物馆和遗产机构已为该项目提供了由植物纤维制成的考古发现。附上书面确认信。植物纤维的考古发现可追溯到公元前 8000 年至公元前 3600 年之间，从而有助于对这些物品的材料选择和制造工艺进行历时比较。专业的植物学知识和专门的实验室设施对于对有机材料考古发现进行系统分析至关重要。创新的分析方法将首次应用于鉴定用于生产物品的植物材料。将结合使用以下方法：电子显微镜、aDNA 分析、微型计算机断层扫描和傅里叶变换拉曼光谱。在整个分析阶段，所有相关合作伙伴将不断评估这些技术的应用以及所获得的结果。该项目的主要目标是开发一种新的、高效且可靠的方法来鉴定考古纺织品发现，从而消除多余的耗时且昂贵的显微镜检查。第二个目标是重建史前绳索和网生产所涉及的复杂过程。这将通过与柏林 FU 的学生一起进行的实际实验来探索。结果将在一个小型展览和随附的小册子中向公众展示。这些复制品将提供给博物馆在其永久展览中展示。还将咨询民族志来源，以收集有关韧皮纤维产品的长期技术发展和传统的信息。将组织一个国际跨学科研讨会，该项目的结果将在几个同行评审的期刊上发表。
