Archeologia della lana in età romana. Dati preliminari dalla provincia di Rovigo

This paper presents the preliminary results of the census of archeological data for the province of Rovigo related to the textile industry in roman times. This research comes from a Phd project that is still ongoing and is a part of a larger research focused on the Roman textiles in Northern Italy started a few years ago by the Dipartimento dei Beni Culturali, University of Padua. Whilst weaving and spinning activities are quite frequent, evidence for shearing is quite rare. The paper also divides the specific characteristics of each class of objects studied in two separate geographic contexts, the urban context of the city of Adria and the rural context of the rest of the Rovigo province

L'archeologia tessile nella Venetia romana. Testimonianze materiali per una sintesi storica.

This research take origin from a previous Project carried out by University of Padua (M.S. Busana), focused on wool archaeology in Roman Venetia. The main theme of the study is to define the archaeological documentation by a systematic census of archaeological textile implements, published and unpublished, found in the province of Rovigo, Venezia, Treviso and Belluno. 1630 records have been recorded: they include shears, bobbins, spindles, hooks, spindle whorls and loom weights from 2nd c. B.C. to 5th c. A.D. For this purpose we used a database linked to a GIS, that allows us to manage data more efficiently and to perform statistical and spatial analyses. Firstly a general overview about textile archaeology is provided, then attention is focused on artifacts, particularly on their functional and morphometric parameters. A new methodology from experimental archaeology developed in Northern Europe is applied. These approaches shed new light on textiles made in the area, revealing a level of standardization of tools and consequently a good organization of the manufacture. Implements from cities and countryside are different, testifying fabrics of different quality and the presence of different markets, as well as a different dynamics. Also symbolic aspects have been investigated: spinning tools, often found in women burials are not only activity marker, but also a sign of feminine virtues and moral qualities. In a more general perspective this work stands as a possible model for the study of these kind of archaeological records, potentially useful to other spatial and chronological contexts
