Overall project

Die kulturhistorische Bedeutung des Textilhandwerks in den prähistorischen Feuchtbodensiedlungen am Bodensee und Oberschwaben - im Kontext von Anforderungen an textile Objekte und ihre Wahrnehmung.

Project details

Short description

In this collaborative project, the FAU is investigating the tools for textile crafts and special-purpose textiles that were used in every day tasks of neolithic farming communities, here in the context of pile-dwelling cultures.

Ropes and cords belong to the most important textiles in everyday life. A catalogue of their possible uses, such as in load shifting, house construction, or as a binder (for tool shafts e.g.) is prepared. Connected to fishing techniques, the fish bones in Hornstaad Hörnle IA will be included; as well as the recording of the net sinks. The project is attempting to find out the specialized fishing techniques and their transmission and propagation. The experience gained from the Experimental Archaeology will highlight the importance of specified functional textiles in these farming comunities.
