	Ancient Textiles Series 11 Textiles & Textile Production in Europe: From Prehistory to AD 400 edited by Margarita Gleba and Ulla Mannering There is evidence that ever since early prehistory, textiles have always had more than simply a utilitarian function.

	Ancient Textiles Series 7 From Minos to Midas: Ancient Cloth Production in the Aegean and in Anatolia by Brendan Burke Textile production was of greater value and importance to people in the past than any other social craft activity; everyone depended on cloth.

This book takes an explicitly economic approach to textile production, focusing on regional centers, most ... Hardback. Price US$60.00
