V rámci cyklu prednášok Club Archaeologia Istropolitana sa uskutoční kolokvium organizované katedrou archeológie a kultúrnej antropológie.
The Department of Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology cordially invite you to a research colloquium Material Culture Studies. Archaeological Textiles Research: Sources – research questions – methods, as part of the speaker series of Club Archaeologia Istropolitana. Our speaker is Dr. Karina Grömer from Natural History Museum, Vienna. The cultural and historical importance of textile technology, especially of spinning and weaving, can hardly be overstated. Textile crafts not only produced essential goods for everyday use, most notably clothing, but also utilitarian objects as well as representative and luxury items. This talk will present the technological, social and economic background of textile innovations in Central European prehistory. In addition, we will examine dress and identity, and the social value of clothing and textiles from the Bronze Age to the Medieval period. The lecture will take place on 7 May 2025, from 17:30 to 19:00 in classroom G239.
