The Must Farm Textiles: Part One Introducing Bronze Age Textiles

We’re excited to share the first in a series of videos describing our work on Must Farm’s textiles. These updates feature textile specialist Dr Susanna Harris from the University of Glasgow discussing the assemblage and our current understanding of the textiles including their production and archaeological significance.
This first part introduces Bronze Age textiles to help put the Must Farm finds in context. We’ll be releasing new videos every Monday throughout April and May describing the textiles in greater detail and providing updates on our progress examining these amazing finds.

Why the example of the tea towel? I’m fairly sure the shirt you’re wearing is also plain. As it’s a very common weave for shirts.

How can you tell it’s nettle or bast? Is that visible under the microscope?
