This volume addresses that gap by presenting both case studies and wider discussions organised around three key themes: sails and sail production from Antiquity to the 19th century; archaeological evidence for maritime exchange, sailing, and textile production linked to maritime activities; and boat technology, including the significance of ropes and rigging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCovering a geographical range from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, the contributions draw on source materials based on archaeological evidence, classical literature, documentary records, and experimental research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Serena Sabatini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888572047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxbow Books Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Serena Sabatini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49148363243775,"sku":"9798888572047","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sailing-textiles-from-prehistory-to-serena-sabatini-9798888572047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
