Conclusion

In compiling these most basic guidelines for the excavation of textiles, it has not been possible to address all the vastly different conditions that may be encountered by excavators. Some sites may have access to well-equipped laboratories, whilst others may be located in remote areas where the conditions are primitive. Removal of textiles from many sites is prohibited. Textiles may be a chance find of a single, minute fragment, whilst at other sites they form an integral part of the cultural assemblage and may be present in very large quantities. Each situation needs individual assessment, and the procedures should be adapted to suit the prevailing conditions and available resources. However, careful retrieval, minimal interference, adequate documentation and good storage procedures are paramount for the preservation of the textile for future interpretation by specialists.
