On-line database for 14C-dated textiles

An on-line database for 14C-dated textiles (from early times until the end of 1rst millennium AD) is about to be finished. It is undertaken by the Dept. of Christian Archaeology of Bonn university (Sabine Schrenk [responsible], Frank Albert, Anne-Sophie Lüttge; programmed by Eberhard and Jan Orzekowsky), in collaboration with the KIK IRPA in Brussels (Mark van Strydonck).

The internet address will be: www.textile-dates.info (available soon).

For immediate information, please turn to: schrenk-sa@netcologne.de. From July 2009 onward please contact: 14ctextiles@uni-bonn.de.

If you have any radiocarbon dates from textiles you would like to add to this database (and we hope you do!), please contact us!
