Summary: | A collection of Archaeological textiles from Viking Age Scotland. Material was recorded in Edinburgh, Scotland at the National Museum of Scotland. This material was recorded for its physical characteristics (thread count, spin direction), using a digital microscope and was part of several projects looking at gender and textiles production in the North Atlantic. This data served mostly as comparative material with other regions of the North Atlantic such as Iceland and came exclusively from burial contexts. This material was published in the monograph, The Valkyries' Loom, the Archaeology of Cloth Production and Female Power in the North Atlantic. 2020, U Press FL. ISBN-10 081306662X.
