prehistoric textiles

Prehistoric textiles are fabrics created by early humans using natural fibers like plant materials (such as flax and hemp) or animal fibers (like wool and fur). These textiles served practical purposes, such as clothing, shelter, and carrying items, and reflect the skills and resources of ancient societies. Despite their perishable nature, some textiles have been preserved in archaeological sites, providing insights into early craftsmanship, trade, and daily life. The development of weaving and spinning techniques marked significant advancements in human culture, highlighting creativity and adaptability in adapting natural materials for survival and expression.
