In this presentation, we will provide an overview of various lines of evidence
related to fibre and textile production during the Late Neolithic in the Central
Balkans (Vinča culture, 5300–4500 BC). It will include a discussion on possible
plant fibre sources, i.e. plants identified in charred archaeobotanical
assemblages and as fibres, with special reference to flax (Linum usitatissimum).
Another aspect of this presentation is related to the technologies of fibre and
textile production. While the remains of textile are rarely found at Neolithic
settlements in the Balkans, its production and use has been documented
indirectly at the majority of them – in the form of spinning implements, loom
weights, bone tools, textile impressions in pottery and clay objects. Such finds
have been examined by different specialists as part of routine material and
typological studies; however, comprehensive analysis of their use in spinning and
weaving, making of clothes or any other related ...activity has been lacking.
Recently, there has been a change in the analytical approach and an increase in
the level of attention paid to different forms of evidence of textile production.
As a result, the story of technological know-how of textile making in Vinča
communities is slowly beginning to emerge.
By summing up the available records and information, we will reconstruct the
process of textile making – from procurement of fibre plants to the final product
– in the Late Neolithic of the Central Balkans. This will allow us to assess the role
of textile production in the socio-economic life of the Vinča communities, to infer
how this activity shaped everyday life as well as how it contributed to the transfer
of knowledge and social interactions.
