The research is based on the archaeological textile tools coming from the western quarter of the Castle Hill of Herakleia, systematically catalogued and processed with new experimental archaeology systems which allow us to attest the production of high quality fabrics using discoid circular loom weights. This result seems to confi rm what can be traced with the study of literary sources for the whole Ionic Arc and in particular for Taranto, Herakleia’s motherland, and its wools.File in questo prodotto:
