This talk will explain the wool, plant fibre and silk textiles of the hoard and outline updated results of the analytical discoveries.
The Galloway Hoard is a stunning group of objects that were buried in southwest Scotland around 900 CE. Among the stash of Viking Age silver, gold and other inorganic objects, there are preserved remains of textiles. As textiles rarely survive in archaeological contexts, their presence in this hoard provides a remarkable opportunity to discover the role and significance of textiles in hoards of this period. This talk will explain the wool, plant fibre and silk textiles of the hoard and outline updated results of the analytical discoveries.
