The course aims to give students an understanding of the importance of production processes and methods of analysis of weaving production in ancient Anatolian societies.

This course will present and explore contemporary archaeological and historical international research into ancient fashion, textile production and consumption throughout the Anatolian basin. Current research in the field is undertaken by archaeologists, historians and scientists from a range of countries who cooperate to analyse archaeological textile remains in conjunction with the written sources and images of dress and textile tools at our disposal.
