  • Tooth-Tool Use and Yarn Production in Norse Greenland
    TOOTH -TOOL USE AND YARN PRODUCTION IN NORSE GREENLAND G. Richard Scott University of Nevada Reno, Department of Anthropology/MS 096, Reno, NV 89557; [email protected] Ruth Burgett Jolie Department of Anthropology, University of New Mexico ABSTRACT During a dental study of medieval Norse skeletons from Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, a distinct pattern of wear was observed on twenty-two anterior teeth of twelve Greenlanders. Further examina- tion revealed that cultural notches were limited almost exclusively to settlement-period Greenlandic females interred at Thjodhild’s church ad( 1000–1150). The most likely explanation for this patterned wear revolves around the manner in which females manipulated woolen thread on their maxillary in- cisors and canines during the production of a coarse woolen cloth (frieze) that was generated in large amounts during the early medieval period for local consumption and export to Europe. keywords: teeth, abrasion, wool INTRODUCTION Anthropologists have long studied normal crown wear to As the most directly visible aspect of the skeletal sys- evaluate the diet and dietary behavior of earlier human tem, teeth are also subject to the vagaries of human cultur- populations (Hinton 1981, 1982; Kieser et al. 2001; Molnar al behavior (cf.

Textile artists and practitioners often use different terms than academic textile historians; researchers of European historical textiles use different terms than researchers of ethnographic textiles, who often introduce foreign terms into the discussion; and, even within the English language, North American textile specialists often use different terms than their British counterparts.

  • Heritage Bulletin 20 Tips, Ideas & More to Help Preserve Oregon’S Heritage
    Heritage Bulletin 20 Tips, Ideas & More to Help Preserve Oregon’s Heritage Caring for Textiles: Cleaning and Garment Hanging July 2015 Textiles play an integral role in our lives by symbolizing our relationship to society. This familiarity with textiles often creates an inverse reaction when working with historical pieces, causing us to inadvertently inflict more harm than good. How does caring for textiles in our collections differ from the care we show our personal and everyday textiles? Museum professionals abide by a code of ethics to do no harm. Whatever they do must be reversible. The lack of proper storage and care will harm textiles. Examples of harmful storage include the use of wire hangers and overfilled archival textile boxes. Overlooking signs of poor condition and maintaining the status quo of textile storage just because “this is how we store all of our dresses” is also harmful. It is very important to establish new patterns when caring for our historical textiles. Each piece is unique and should be treated as such. The condition assessment Condition is one of the most important factors to consider when Reversible doll from private collection, image courtesy planning storage solutions and methods of treatment. Textile Kathleen Daly. Conservator Lucy Commoner developed a condition assessment guide to help streamline this evaluation. Her article, “A Condition Assessment Rating System for Textiles,” provides a clear and concise guide to defining and clarifying a textile’s condition (see Recommended Readings and Links at the end of this Bulletin). Upon completion of the condition assessment, caregivers can determine appropriate treatment methods and proper storage.
