title: "Textiles Activities in Context. An Example of Craft Organization in Meroitic Sudan"
authors: ["elsayvanez.md"]
abstract: In Sudan and Nubia, textile implements such as spindle whorls and loom
weights are common finds, especially in the excavations of both rural
and urban Meroitic settlements. This paper will focus on restoring the
textile implements to their archeological locations in order to identify
and understand the context of textile activities within the two
settlements of Tila Island and Meroe-city. The two sites -- a small
rural settlement on one hand and the royal capital city on the other
hand -- offer various examples of how craft production was integrated
amidst the Meroitic urban landscape. From domestic production inside
living quarters to the creation of multi-tasking industrial areas, the
making of textiles was tightly woven into the economic fabric of the
Meroitic kingdom.
