writing about fabric
Texts about cloth can help us identify the values and meanings associated with particular fabrics and items made of cloth, reconstruct circumstances leading to production and acquisition, and understand artifactual features. Ideally, information from texts, images and artifacts can be brought together to shed light on a given topic and enhance our efforts to interpret cloth artifacts.
