This volume is intended as a companion to the volume on the textile products from the same site, published in 1989 (AY 17/5). A total of 1,147 artefacts connected with textile production were recovered from the excavation at 16-22 Coppergate together with raw fibres, dyestuffs, teasels and other biological evidence. Of these, 1,006 of the artefacts are dated to the 9th-13th centuries and two-thirds of these belong to the Anglo-Scandinavian period.All the processes of production are represented: raw flax and wool are present, as are tools for preparing fibre; spinning with distaff, spindle-and-whorl and spindle wheel; weaving with the warp-weighted loom, the two-beam vertical loom and the horizontal treadle loom; there are also dyeplants for dyeing; tools for finishing wool cloth and smoothing linen; and for cutting and stitching garments.
