The fibre revolution in Bronze Age northern Italy: investigating textile economies in transition from plant fibres to wool

青铜时代(公元前2200-1200年)从植物纤维纺织经济向羊毛纤维纺织经济的转变是一个重要的经济转折点，将影响日常生活的许多方面。利用纺织工具的功能分析、pXRF、C14测年和地理信息系统，这项研究将集中在意大利北部的四个定居点中发现的纺织工具：Lucon di Polpenazze del Garda(BS)、Molina di Ledro(TN)、Montale(RE)和Santa Rosa di Povillio(RE)。研究结果将调查羊毛的采用如何影响这些聚落内纺织生产的社会组织。

The transition from plant to wool fibre textile economies during the Bronze Age (c.2200-1200 BCE) is an important economic juncture and would have affected many aspects of daily life. Using functional analysis of textile tools, pXRF, C14 dating and GIS this research will focus on the textile tools discovered in four settlements in northern Italy: Lucone di Polpenazze del Garda (BS), Molina di Ledro (TN), Montale (RE) and Santa Rosa di Poviglio (RE). The results will investigate how the adoption of wool affected the social organization of textile production within these settlements.
