Prehistoric Colorant Analysis: a Multidisciplinary Approach

By

Christel M Baldia

 

This research focuses on analytical methods to “read” archaeological textiles especially with respect to color even if this color is no longer visible with the unaided eye based on differences in chemical signature. Using forensic techniques in addition to traditional textile analysis, information about colorant use and textile technology in prehistory can be gleaned. Textiles from Seip Mound in southern Ohio are used as an example, and Hopewellian use of pigment and dye to decorate their textiles is demonstrated.
