Abstract
Among Lise Bender Jørgensen’s many valuable contributions to archaeology, her catalogues of Scandinavian (1986) and North European (1992) textiles are among the most significant and long lasting. At the time of writing, little was known about the prehistoric textiles of Italy and comparative material from South Europe included less than ten Italian sites where textiles have been found. Over two decades following Bender Jørgensen’s publications, archaeological textiles of Italy number in hundreds, permitting to fill the gap in the European textile corpus. As a tribute to and continuation of Bender Jørgensen’s groundbreaking work, this article provides an overview of the archaeological textiles of Italy from prehistory through the Roman period and discusses their significance within European archaeology.Pubblicazioni consigliate
