On Thursday 6th November, first year undergraduate students studying Archaeological Science and Materials had the opportunity to learn about prehistoric textiles. Karina Grömer from the Natural History Museum, Vienna – a leading researcher in archaeological textiles – was visiting the Department and kindly brought with her samples of reproduction textiles and costumes. The students carried out a practical during which they learned how to record archaeological textiles and also had some fun trying on the costumes!
