Back 114. Textile EvidenceForward

The earliest evidence for normal weave textiles at Harappa is found in this impression on a Ravi Phase bead from Harappa, dating to around 3300 BC. This fragment is only 1 cm long. Normal weave denotes interlacing single threads (one thread over/under the next). Such weaving may have been done on a simple loom with bone tools such as those seen in 116.
