520    Textile and dress production, from raw materials to 
       finished items, has had a significant impact on society 
       from its earliest history. The essays in this volume offer
       a fresh insight into the emerging interdisciplinary 
       research field of textile and dress studies by discussing 
       archaeological, iconographical and textual evidence within
       a broad geographical and chronological spectrum. The 
       thirteen chapters explore issues, such as the analysis of 
       textile tools, especially spindle whorls, and textile 
       imprints for reconstructing textile production in contexts
       as different as Neolithic Transylvania, the Early Bronze 
       Age North Aegean and the Early Iron Age Eastern 
       Mediterranean; the importance of cuneiform clay tablets as
       a documentary source for both drawing a detailed picture 
       of the administration of a textile industry and for 
       addressing gender issues, such as the construction of 
       masculinity in the Sumerian kingdoms of the 3rd millennium
       BC; and discussions of royal and priestly costumes and 
       clothing ornaments in the Mesopotamian kingdom of Mari and
       in Mycenaean culture. Textile terms testify to intensive 
       exchanges between Semitic and Indo-European languages, 
       especially within the terminology of trade goods. The 
       production and consumption of textiles and garments are 
       demonstrated in 2nd millennium Hittite Anatolia; from 1st 
       millennium BC Assyria, a cross-disciplinary approach 
       combines texts, realia and iconography to produce a 
       systematic study of golden dress decorations; and finally,
       the important discussion of fibres, flax and wool, in 
       written and archaeological sources is evidence for 
       delineating the economy of linen and the strong symbolic 
       value of fibre types in 1st millennium Babylonia and the 
       Southern Levant. The volume is part of a pair together 
       with Greek and Roman Textiles and Dress: An 
       Interdisciplinary Anthology edited by Mary Harlow and 
       Marie-Louise Nosch. [Elib]
