Medieval textile history in northern europe

The Danish National Research Foundation's Centre for Textile Research, University of Copenhagen in association with the Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen, and the Danish Historian Meeting 2006 invite you the seminar:

Medieval broadcloth - Production, Trade, Consumption and Use

Date: Saturday, August 26th, 2006 at 10.45-17.00 o'clock

Place: Centre for Textile Research, University of Copenhagen, Njalsgade 106, stair case 16, 1 st floor, Copenhagen (METRO: Islands Brygge)

The production of broadcloth was extensive from the 11 th century and through out the medieval period and one of the most important commodities in the medieval trade. The type of textile is well known from historical sources and is also found in the archaeological excavations. The theme is therefore suitable for an interdisciplinary session that covers all the aspects from production and trade to consumption and use. The purpose of this session is to gather researchers who have worked with different perspectives on medieval broadcloth to present their current research and to join research traditions, e.g. historians, archaeologist, in an interdisciplinary session about textiles.
