Abstract

Of Lise Bender Jørgensen’s many valuable contributions to archaeology, her catalogues of Scandinavian (1986) and North European (1992) archaeological textiles are among the most signif cant and long lasting. At the time of writing, little was known about the prehistoric textiles of Italy and comparative material from South Europe included less than ten Italian sites where textiles have been found. Since the more than two decades following Bender Jørgensen’s publications, archaeological textiles of Italy number in hundreds if not thousands, f lling a gap in the European textile corpus. As a tribute to and continuation of Bender Jørgensen’s groundbreaking work, this contribution provides an overview of the archaeological textiles of Italy known today from prehistory through the Roman period.
