Missing link: an early wool textile from Pustopolje in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Karina Grömer; Lise Bender Jørgensen; Marija Marić Baković

Abstract In 1990 the excavation of a group of tumuli in south-western Bosnia was published in the pages of Antiquity. The key discovery was the Bronze Age burial of an adult male (Pustopolje tumulus 16), wrapped in a large woollen textile. At the time, little attention was paid to the textile. New analyses of the fabric, however, have led to a reappraisal of this find. The textile is presented here fully for the first time, with details of the analyses that have been undertaken. These reveal that the Pustopolje textile has major significance for our understanding of the early development of weaving technology and clothing in the Bronze Age archaeological record, and in particular it underlines the presence of distinct and separate weaving traditions in Central Europe and Scandinavia.

Visions of Dress: Recreating Bronze Age Clothing from the Danubian Region

Karina Grömer; Helga Rösel-Mautendorfer; Lise Bender Jørgensen

Abstract This article highlights and discusses the challenges of recreating the clothing of a wealthy Bronze Age woman from Winklarn in Austria. She was buried with jewelry and dress fittings that appear almost theatrical, such as a wide belt of bronze, extremely long pins, and a collar consisting of fourteen spiked bronze pendants. A series of different sources underpin suggestions of what her dress might have looked like: placement patterns of jewelry in Bronze Age graves from Central Europe; Bronze Age iconography; textures of Bronze Age textiles, including a group of completely preserved garments from Denmark; and tailoring principles. Each of these sources has its own rules and pitfalls. Do the remnants of clothing we find in the graves represent garments worn in daily life, or garbs for burial? To what degree do stylized human images in Bronze Age art depict the shapes and decoration of “real” clothing? How can we use complete outfits of clothing found in oak-log coffin graves in Denmark, far away from Central Europe? A series of experiments has been carried out in order to investigate how the lady of Winklarn may have been dressed. The appearance of the resulting outfits is discussed, focusing on perception, visual appearance, and the interplay between clothing, dress accessories, textures, decoration, colors, and glittering bronzes.

Zusammenfassung: Im traditionsreichen Bergbaugebiet von Schwaz/Brixlegg im Nordtiroler Unterinntal fand während der späten Bronzezeit und frühen Eisenzeit ein umfangreicher Bergbau auf Kupfererze statt, der zahlreiche Spuren im Gelände hinterlassen hat. Montanarchäologische Forschungsprojekte der Universität Innsbruck, gefördert vom österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds FWF und vom Tiroler Wissenschaftsfonds TWF, untersuchen seit den 1990er Jahren das prähistorische Montanwesen in diesem Raum. Zu den Forschungszielen gehören die Rekonstruktion der metallurgischen Produktionskette vom Erzabbau über die Aufbereitung bis hin zur Erzverhüttung und Gewinnung von Rohkupfer sowie der Arbeits- und Lebenswelt der prähistorischen Berg- und Hüttenleute. Die bislang prospektierten und in Ausschnitten archäologisch untersuchten Befunde belegen einen zeitlichen Schwerpunkt der Bergbauaktivitäten im 12. bis 8. Jh. v. Chr. Auf einem Verhüttungsplatz bei Radfeld (Mauk A) fanden sich 1997 bei der Freilegung einer „Waschrinne“ zur nassmechanischen Aufbereitung von Schlacken einige gut erhaltene Textilfragmente. Der archäologische Befund sowie die Textilfunde, Analysen zu Textiltechnik, Fasermaterial und Farbstoffen werden im folgenden Beitrag vorgestellt. Zudem werden die funktionelle Interpretation und kulturgeschichtliche Einordnung der Textilfunde diskutiert.
