Textiles and Seals Workshop
On the 22nd and 23rd of March 2021 a group of international experts gathered online in the Workshop “Textiles and Seals. Relations between Textile Production and Seals and Sealing Practicesin the Bronze to Iron Age Mediterranean”, organized in the framework of the Textiles and Seals research project led by EuroWeb leader Agata Ulanowska, funded by the National Science Centre, Poland (UMO-2017/26/D/HS3/00145), and hosted by the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw.
During these two days, 18 researchers, including several EuroWeb members, presented case studies from different areas of the Mediterranean basin and its surroundings, ranging from Iraq to Southern Italy, exchanging data and views on the uses of seals and their relation to textile production, trade, and consumption.
The event also included the launch ceremony for the Textiles and Seals online database, a major delivery of the research project. This open digital database, which brings together a vast corpus of data, including seal-impressed and marked textile tools, impressions of textiles on clay, and iconography of textile production in seal imagery, is an important tool for on-going and future research on the subject.
This workshop was also transmitted live on the Youtube Channel of the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw, where those who could not attend can still watch the presentations.
