The volume Weaving and Wearing Identity: Personal Adornment in Past Societies originated from the idea of bringing together studies that demonstrate different ways in which identities could be shaped and expressed in past times through the interaction between worn objects and human bodies. This concept was also central to the session ‘Weaving and wearing narratives of identity. Production, trade, and consumption of textiles and personal jewellery as markers of identities’, part of the vast and multi-disciplinary programme of the 2023 European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting, hosted by the Queen University of Belfast, Northern Ireland (30 August–2 September 2023). The session topic was inspired by and fitted well with the general theme of the conference: ‘Weaving Narratives’. Most chapters of this volume represent the outcomes of that informative and innovative session with the addition of new contributions that enrich the journey of worn artefacts and identity construction, broadening the scope to different regions, periods, or indeed opening discussions around other types of material used in the creation of textiles, bodily ornaments, and identity.

摘要

The volume Weaving and Wearing Identity: Personal Adornment in Past Societies originated from the idea of bringing together studies that demonstrate different ways in which identities could be shaped and expressed in past times through the interaction between worn objects and human bodies. This concept was also central to the session ‘Weaving and wearing narratives of identity. Production, trade, and consumption of textiles and personal jewellery as markers of identities’, part of the vast and multi-disciplinary programme of the 2023 European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting, hosted by the Queen University of Belfast, Northern Ireland (30 August–2 September 2023). The session topic was inspired by and fitted well with the general theme of the conference: ‘Weaving Narratives’. Most chapters of this volume represent the outcomes of that informative and innovative session with the addition of new contributions that enrich the journey of worn artefacts and identity construction, broadening the scope to different regions, periods, or indeed opening discussions around other types of material used in the creation of textiles, bodily ornaments, and identity.
