Le monde grec des foulons
Histoire et archéologie d'un métier du textile dans l'Orient grec
How did the ancients clean their clothes and remove stains in societies where there was no soap or detergent?... they used the services of fullers, little-known textile craftsmen who were nonetheless so important to daily life. Read More
Fullers were among the textile craftsmen who were indispensable to daily life in Antiquity, but they have been forgotten by history for far too long. Yet their role was crucial to the economy of textile production, as they were responsible for the finishing of the fabrics, and at the same time quite mundane, as people entrusted their clothes to them for daily cleaning. This book delves into the world of the fullers of the Greek East (including Egypt) and, based on a technical study of their workshops and an archaeology of their "chaînes opératoires", attempts to place these textile craftsmen in their professional, economic, social and civic environment. By systematically comparing all available data – literary texts, inscriptions, papyri, iconographic and archaeological sources – we are able to bring these everyday workers out of the shadows and rehabilitate them as historical actors in Greek and Hellenised societies in the eastern Mediterranean for almost a millennium.
