Abstract

This article investigates the production of textiles in Thrace during the first millennium BC. It presents a functional analysis of textile-production tools from three towns in Thrace: Koprivlen, Adzhiiska Vodenitsa near Vetren, and Seuthopolis, and from Kastanas in Macedonia. The analysis shows that over the course of the Iron Age, textile production became more diversified and intensive. This process unfolded parallel to the emergence of opulent elite burials and urban communities. By examining a wider range of archaeological, iconographic, and textual data, the article contributes to our understanding of how the demand for textiles, and their consumption in different socially meaningful ways, connects to changes in production.

La production des textiles en Thrace pendant le premier millénaire avant J.-C. forme le sujet de cet article. Il s'agit d'une analyse fonctionnelle des outils de fabrication des textiles récupérés dans trois villes de Thrace—Koprivlen, Adzhiiska Vodenitsa près de Vetren et Seuthopolis—ainsi qu’à Kastanas en Macédoine. Cette analyse démontre que la production des textiles s'est diversifiée et intensifiée au cours de l’âge du Fer. Ce processus s'est développé en même temps que l'apparition des riches sépultures de l’élite et des communautés urbaines. L'examen d'un éventail plus large de données archéologiques, iconographiques et littéraires permet de mieux comprendre comment la demande en textiles et le sens de leur usage dans divers contextes sociaux se rattachent aux transformations dans la production des textiles.

Die Textilproduktion in Thrakien im ersten Jahrtausend vor Chr. wird in diesem Artikel untersucht. Es handelt sich um eine funktionelle Analyse von Werkzeugen aus drei thrakischen Städten—Koprivlen, Adzhiiska Vodenitsa in der Nähe von Vetren und Seuthopolis—und aus Kastanas in Makedonien, die zur Herstellung der Textilien dienten. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Textilproduktion sich im Laufe der Eisenzeit diversifiziert und intensiviert hat. Dies hat sich parallel zum Erscheinen von reichen Bestattungen der Elite und von städtischen Gemeinschaften entfaltet. Dazu hat die Analyse der weiteren archäologischen, ikonografischen und schriftlichen Angaben Erkenntnisse geliefert, wie der Bedarf an Textilien und ihren Verbrauch in verschiedenen sozialen Gattungen sich mit den Veränderungen in der Textilproduktion verknüpft.
