| Popis: | Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 145 Volume reviewing the archaeological evidence for clothing and its manufacture in the early Anglo-Saxon period. The author draws on material excavated from settlements and cemeteries, and places it within the context of current studies concerning women, immigration, economy and the meaning of costume within Anglo-Saxon society. Topics covered include the processes of production; the main cloth types, including descriptions of weaves and needlework; costume accessories and costume styles. The final chapter considers the evidence under thematic headings, including the arrival of Anglo-Saxon textile culture and survival of native British skills; regional variety; social status, gender and age in relation to clothing and textiles; and the role of textiles in funerary ritual. Includes French and German summaries. |
