Beschreibung:
The Linear B texts of Late Bronze Age Knossos provide invaluable information not only on the manufacture of textiles but also on the textile workers active within the context of a major Mycenaean palatial centre. Ideograms bear witness to the diversity of textile types and occupational designations point to a highly developed and specialized textile production. Textile workers recorded in the Knossos Linear B texts reveal gendered aspects of production in which women, men, girls and boys were engaged. The administrative aspects of this production have been considered in a number of publications. The present paper will explore a prosopographical perspective in which a select number of individuals and their involvement in textile manufacture at Knossos will be considered.
