“…Both Michael Ryder (1968: 81) and Elizabeth Barber argued that whorls around 33 grams are suitable for long staple medium-heavy wool (Barber 1991: 52). Additionally, reported results of the technological analysis on the 4 th and early 3 rd millennium BC assemblages from Arslantepe, Turkey (Laurito et al 2014) support this conclusion. Interestingly, a single bone spindle whorl in the entire (836 spindle whorls in the database) sample, which was recovered at Josipovac Punitovački -Veliko polje 9 highly resembles (in shape, production, and recorded size and weight values) the mentioned 4 th millennium bone tools from Arslantepe, suggested for spinning wool.…”

“…S obzirom na to da morfološke odlike alatki znatno utječu na njihovu funkcionalnost (Gromer 2005;Martensson et al 2006;Verhecken 2010), tehnička analiza pršljenova predstavlja temelj za istraživanje korištenih tehnika, metoda i materijala, te konačnih proizvoda predenja. Ipak, do koje mjere morfologija alatki uvjetuje sam proces proizvodnje i dalje se propitkuje i istražuje kroz eksperimentalne studije (Laurito et al 2014;Kania 2015).…”

“…Technical analysis of spindle whorls enables the investigation of techniques, materials, methods and products, since the morphological traits of the tools greatly impact their functionality (Grömer 2005;Mårtensson et al 2006;Verhecken 2010). Nevertheless, the level on which the morphology influences and conditions the spinning process continues to be questioned and investigated through experimental studies (Laurito et al 2014;Kania 2015).…”

“…Kr. s lokaliteta Arslantepe u Turskoj (Laurito et al 2014) govore u prilog navedenoj tezi. Zanimljivo, jedini koštani pršljen iz cijelog uzorka (836 pršljenova u bazi podataka) koji je pronađen na lokalitetu Josipovac Punitovački-Veliko polje I 9 vrlo je sličan (oblikom, načinom izrade te zabilježenim vrijednostima veličine i težine) spomenutim koštanim alatkama 4. tisućljeća s lokaliteta Arslantepe koje su, pretpostavlja se, korištene za predenju vune.…”

Uvod Alatke i zanat Tretiranje i obrada vlakana uvelike ovise o dostupnosti i prirodi izvora sirovine, kao i o željenim krajnjim proizvodima. Dakle, i početna i završna faza proizvodnje tekstila ocrtavaju se u dijelu procesa koji uključuje predenje. Posljedično, različiti načini eksploatacije vlaknastog materijala i njegovo pretvaranje u tekstilni proizvod mogu se promatrati kroz funkcionalni aspekt tekstilnih alatki, odnosno, preciznije, kroz pršljenove. Pršljenovi su jednostavne alatke koje stvaraju napetost i rotaciju tijekom procesa predenja, dok se vretenom izvlači vlakna iz pripremljene sirovine i zavija ih se u uzicu ili nit. Pršljenovi su najbrojnija vrsta neizravnih dokaza za proizvodnju tekstila u eneolitičkim kontekstima, što doprinosi potencijalu za proučavanje tehnoloških trendova, osobito onih koji se odnose na dinamiku i promjene u obradi vlakana. Oni pružaju određene podatke o procesu predenja, a ujedno i o: prvo, svojstvima korištenih vlaknastih materijala (Grömer 2005; Verhecken 2010), i, drugo, tipu i kvaliteti proizvedene niti (Bohnsack 1981; Crewe 1998). Iako nisu ključni, pršljenovi su vrlo korisne alatke za proizvodnju niti (Barber 1991: 42) koje znatno ubrzavaju i poboljšavaju ovu, početnu, fazu u proizvodnji tekstila koja slijedi nakon pribavljanja i pripreme sirovih vlakana (Barber 1991: 51-53). Dok jedan pršljen označava proizvodnju jedne niti u pojedinom

“…An analysis of textile tools from Arslantepe (Laurito et al 2014) proposed household wool spinning already in the 4 th millennium BC, and ethnological research in Greece showed that unspecialised herding can, and did, account for an ample amount of spun thread (Rokou 1994). In addition, both 'Neolithic' and 'Bronze Age' wool types occur in Iron Age contexts.…”

Tools tell tales – climate trends changing threads in the prehistoric Pannonian Plain

This study of prehistoric textile production on the Pannonian Plain is based on indirect evidence dated to the period between the 5th and 2nd millennium BC; the study of technological trends and changes that occurred in manufacturing traditions concentrates on fibre processing and production. The functionality analysis of spindle-whorls served as a basis for comparing textile production trends with the results of the climate change model. Climatic changes in the area were simulated by means of a moderate-resolution Global Circulation Model (GCM). The simulation covered the mid-to-late Holocene, from 7000 years BP to the pre-industrial period.

Climate, Clothing, and Agriculture in Prehistory

CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE INVENTION OF CLOTHES T he human need for clothes did not start out from any sense of modesty nor a desire to decorate ourselves: naked hunter-gatherers, such as the Australian Aborigines, can easily disprove those theories. This is likewise for theories of clothing origins that are based on social purposes, such as displaying social roles. Of course, these motivesmodesty and displayare often the main reason why we wear clothes in the modern world. And, like a lot of modern things, they are rather contradictory: we like to show ourselves, and we also like to cover ourselves. Clothes embody these ambivalent feelings about our bodies. Display and modesty make more sense as later motives: they arose as reasons to wear clothes once we had already adopted clothing. And yet, these were the motives that finally made clothes indispensable and permanent. The psychosocial need for clothes played a big role in our modern developmentin the emergence of agriculture, for example, as we shall see. So, we should not discount the roles of modesty and display, but in searching for original causes, we have a couple of more respectable candidates. First, is our biological nakedness: we lack natural body cover in the form of fur. As mentioned in the first chapter, this is an unusual trait for any mammal, though not unique: some other species also became naked. And it is true that our own nakedness varies quite markedly and is never complete: we still retain some body hairsome people more than othersbut we are nonetheless naked in a biological sense. In a moment, we shall look at the questions of when and why our hominin ancestors lost their fur cover.
