We are excited to share our second video about textiles and textile production in Bronze Age Greece. It has been made for the educational project ‘Artefacts, Creativity, Technology, and Skills from Prehistory to the Classical Period in Greece. Communities of Learning in the Past and in Higher Education Today’ (ACTS) funded by the 4EU+ Alliance and the Erasmus+ programme. In this video, Dr hab. Agata Ulanowska from the Faculty of Archaeology, University of Warsaw and Mrs Aleksandra Frączek, a student of the Faculty, discuss and demonstrate spinning.

A. Ulanowska is archaeologist and her interests focus on textile production and technology, experimental archaeology, and seals and sealing practices in Bronze Age Greece. She was awarded two grants of the National Science Centre of Poland, for the projects: “Textile production in Bronze Age Greece – comparative studies of the Aegean weaving techniques” (2015–2017), and “Textiles and Seals. Relations between textile production and seals and sealing practices in Bronze Age Greece” (2018–2021). She is the chair of the COST Action CA 19131 “EuroWeb. Europe Through Textiles: Network for an integrated and interdisciplinary Humanities”. A. Frączek has participated in a class about hands-on approach to textile production and technology, and she is an active member of the Students’ Association for Experimental Archaeology at the WA UW.
