Zusammenfassung:Textile production and the introduction of wool and woolen textiles represented a great revolution in Bronze Age Europe at the dawn of the second millennium BC. The available contemporary written sources from the Mediterranean and Near East suggest that textile production had a strong impact on the cultural, social, and economic life.

This book provides new insights on patterns of production, specialization, and consumption of textiles in Europe throughout the Bronze Age.
