Considering their significance in the ancient Mediterranean and the ancient Near East alike, as well as to the Mediterranean their value as key economic assets, textiles hold significant potential for the understanding of the ancient economy. Making them the subject of more detailed economic analyses in their own right is a central objective of the present volume. Because it is not possible to analyze distributional Edited by Kerstin Droß-Krüpe patterns or the channels of distribution for ancient textiles exclusively on the basis of either written sources and Marie-Louise Nosch or archaeological findings, this volume brings together different source material, disciplines, and methodological approaches, including modern Economics, to analyze the 2 textiles that were traded, trade-routes, markets for buying ⋼ and selling, and the formation and operation of institutions des östlichen Mittelmeerraums und Altvorderasiens that ensured the smooth functioning of processes of textile exchange. ἐμπόριον forum www.ugarit-verlag.com KEF-2-Cover.indd 1 18.10.2016 15:18:09 Textiles, Trade and Theories From the Ancient Near East to the Mediterranean Edited by Kerstin Droß-Krüpe and Marie-Louise Nosch © 2016, Ugarit-Verlag – Buch- und Medienhandel GmbH, Münster ISBN Print: 978-3-86835-224-5 – ISBN E-Book: 978-3-86835-225-2 Kārum – Emporion – Forum Beiträge zur Wirtschafts-, Rechts- und Sozialgeschichte des östlichen Mittelmeerraums und Altvorderasiens Band 2 Herausgegeben von Angelika Lohwasser, Hans Neumann und Kai Ruffing © 2016, Ugarit-Verlag – Buch- und Medienhandel GmbH, Münster ISBN Print: 978-3-86835-224-5 – ISBN E-Book: 978-3-86835-225-2 Textiles, Trade and Theories From the Ancient Near East to the Mediterranean Edited by Kerstin Droß-Krüpe and Marie-Louise Nosch 2016 Ugarit-Verlag Münster © 2016, Ugarit-Verlag – Buch- und Medienhandel GmbH, Münster ISBN Print: 978-3-86835-224-5 – ISBN E-Book: 978-3-86835-225-2 Textiles, Trade and Theories: From the Ancient Near East to the Mediterranean Edited by Kerstin Droß-Krüpe and Marie-Louise Nosch Kārum – Emporion – Forum 2 © 2016 Ugarit-Verlag, Münster www.ugarit-verlag.com All rights reserved.
