Hello Christine & other Britarchers,
In answer to Christine's request for references about Russian iron
age textiles, particularly the frozen Pazyryk and/or scythian
material, BBC's |Horizon| programme on the 'Ice Maiden' (1996)
discussed the clothing that this Pazyryk ?princess was buried in
(these were predominantly of wool with some silk garmnent[s] from
India). The transcript of the programme was put up on the Horizon
Web site but I do not have the URL of this to hand. However, since
I had looked at this site in (I think) December '97, it's possible that
the transcript is no longer available on the Web. Maybe the BBC
might be able to help?
Regards,
Greg
