Abstract
Textiles are an important source of evidence for the reconstruction of past societies, but data from the central Mediterranean are scanty, and they have not been properly investigated. The candidate should collect all the evidence from Sicily (represented by spindles, loom-weights and any other material sourcers, plus iconographic evidence), in order to understand the role and the technology of textile manufacture in the island from the IV to the II millennium b.C.
