Making Textiles in pre-Roman and Roman Times
«Making Textiles in Pre-Roman and Roman Times contributes to emerging directions in scholarship across a number of material culture disciplines, but it is foremost an excellent addition to textile scholarship… while the articles are rich with technical descriptions, they have thoughtfully been made accessible to a wider audience… the volume is well laid out, with ample visuals, including maps, charts, illustrations and photographs that both illustrate and anchor the information they provide.»

«the editors must be commended for bringing together specialists from diverse fields to address this important topic. As a collection, the articles sometimes appear a little disconnected and of varying quality, but the volume successfully shows how the integration of various types of sources can be used to shed light on the complexities of this ancient craft.»
