Based on the research at Çukuriçi Höyük, a prehistoric tell settlement on the western Anatolian Aegean coast, this volume focuses on the analysis of textile production technologies. Due to its chronological depth, its geographic location and the excavations carried out using state-of-the-art methods, this site constitutes an ideal base for the diachronic investigation of prehistoric textile technologies in Anatolia, the Aegean and neighbouring regions. Chronologically the studies range from the beginning of the settlement at Çukuriçi Höyük at the 7th millennium BC and extend slightly beyond the settlement’s final phase, until the end of the 3rd millennium BC. The often overlooked “every-day craft” is used as a focal point to analyse the distribution of technologies and the connected social constructs. In order to shed light on the complex interrelationships, textile tools (spindle whorls and loom weights) from various archaeological sites within Greece, Bulgaria and western Turkey were recorded. The finds were analysed by means of analytical statistical methods and interpreted using different socioeconomic models. The studies offer understanding about how far-reaching technological transfer functioned and which social criteria went with it. Due to the structured approach using statistical methods and model interpretation, the study offers a stable foundation upon which future studies can be built and put into context. In this way, textile archaeology opens up new perspectives on cultural dynamics and the exchange of innovations in prehistoric Anatolia.
