Reviews
Indeed, there is a great deal that is of interest in this book, and overall, one is struck by how sophisticated the study of textiles and textile production in the ancient Near East has become. If I could urge a long-term goal upon its practitioners, it would be to move beyond their specialized analyses in order to render their sophisticated understanding in a comprehensive and synthetic presentation. * BASOR *
Scholars and students working in any of these areas will undoubtedly find material of great interest. * Ancient West & East *
Each study provides increased clarity to the complex understanding of the meanings behind textiles and the roles that they played in ancient societies. * Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies *
