From one of the mailing lists I frequent, I have learned that the abstracts of the papers to be presented at the next Northern European Symposium for Archaeological Textiles ("NESAT") are now on line.

ReplyDeleteHi, Nevan! Thank you for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI fear we're both going to have to wait a while for the NESAT XI to be published. But I'm planning to acquire the volume, and I'll post about the Heckett and Pritchard articles once I've read them.
