Abstracts:
Textile Research in the Pre-digital Age
This talk will present Bender Jørgensen' work on archaeological textiles during the 1970s and 1980s, which included visiting museums in most of Northern Europe at the time of the Iron Curtain, followed by field work in Egypt during the 1990s.
Vindolanda, Berenike, Qasr Ibrim: Securing Textile Records for the Future
Detailed records of archaeological textiles, written, drawn and photographed in the field, are vulnerable, particularly when they are not digital and have no secure home. Total digitization is a partial solution. In this discussion we present and comment on the (incomplete) digital archives for three key Roman sites, copies of which are being deposited with CTR for long-term curation, and use.
