The numerous pieces of fabric are a luxury when considering that a single thread is enough for an organic material assay. This tells us that the woman from Huldremose had access to a variety of precious textiles, which rules out the idea that she was poor. Answer: The term ‘Prehistoric Era’ is used to describe the time when the first civilization or humans evolved. It is believed that the Prehistoric Era has originated in between 200000 B.C. to 3500 – 2500 B.C., and the very first humans in India are believed to evolve in between 200000 B.C. and 40000 B.C. There are several medieval and Iron age dress and tunic patterns available online and in many books. Here is one tutorial in Finnish. There is an European size 40 pattern in the book Löydöstä muinaispuvuksi by Mervi Pasanen and Jenni Sahramaa that I used as a starting point (The book will be available in English after it has been translated and I can highly recommend it.). The tunic pattern was still way too big for me so I couldn’t use it the way it was. The vast majority of the above-mentioned finds belong to the collections of the National Museum of Denmark, and the museum is the primary partner in this program. Over the years, the staff at the textile conservation department in Brede has undertaken detailed but scattered analyses. This information is incorporated into the program and carried forward, systematised and further developed. Material

Project manager: associate professor dr. phil. Ulla Lund Hansen, Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen is responsible for subsidiary projects, coordination, publication, future implications as well as studies of hairstyles.The staff at CTR and at the National Museum of Denmark (associate professor phil.dr. Eva Andersson Strand and senior researcher PhD Ulla Mannering) support and contribute scientific to the project. Eva Andersson Strand: textile tools, textile technology, production and organisation. Ulla Mannering: analysis of prehistoric textiles with focus on Early Iron Age costume development. The unusually well-preserved textiles and hairstyles from Lønne Hede offer a unique opportunity to obtain insight into costume and identity in Denmark in the Early Roman Iron Age (1st – 2nd Centuries AD). But our analyses show – quite surprisingly – that colour and pattern came into fashion in the earliest part of the Iron Age. That’s 500 years earlier than previously thought.” The mission of the program is to examine the costumes from the Early Iron Ages using modern scientific methods, and to create new international reference standards for these items. The long-term aim is to set new textile research standards, and to explore and communicate the new knowledge acquired during the process. Methodology I bought 1,6 m of un-dyed wool twill from Viking Age Clothing. I then used Nitor Yleisväri dye in red and brown to dye the fabric into the reddish brown color. For that, I needed a big 20 l pot and a lot of patience. To get a strong and even colour, the fabric needed to be warmed up to near boiling temperature while stirring the pot continuously. At the same time, I had to do everything carefully so that I didn’t felt the fabric too much! However, the dyeing worked perfectly and the colour was even and just what I was after. Despite the fabric shrinking a bit, it didn’t felt too much.

My personal theory is that we should revise our view of the bog finds because they have been buried in a context that is completely different from what we’ve been thinking up to now,” says Mannering. By the time of the Bronze Age, people had learned how to weave wool into cloth so that their clothes became a little more sophisticated than the rough skins worn by many of their ancestors. Most men wore a tunic, leggings and a cloak as well as jewellery in the shape of cloak fasteners and bracelets. The rich had finer clothes and wore many ornaments of rings and bracelets. There are also many examples of cloak fasteners made from precious metals. Razors have been found and would seem to indicate that the men were clean shaven.

These clothes were made from woven wool and sometimes from linen made from flax. The range of colours available to die these fabrics was very limited – brown, reds, green and blue. Rarely found items of clothing indicate the types and quality of the weaves used. Another source of information comes from impressions of textiles preserved in rust. Clothing buried next to a metal object sometimes leaves an impression of the weave preserved in the corrosion. The Lønne Hede project is an interdisciplinary research project running from 2011-2014 with participation of researchers from: DNRF, Centre for Textile Research and the Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen, The National Museum of Denmark, Varde Museum and Conservation Centre Vejle. This project is based on collaborative effort cross institutions and involving disciplines such as prehistoric archaeology, textile research and natural science. The Lønne Hede cemetery distinguishes itself from other contemporary Iron Age graves on account of its many remains of textiles and human hair. It is extremely rare to recover well preserved textile finds from prehistoric burials, and more so in the quantities that constitute the finds from Lønne Hede. From these graves it is possible to distinguish components of the costume such as skirts, dresses or tunics, shawls and cloaks, and to see how jewellery was related to the costume. We don’t know how she died, but her coloured costume suggests a high status,” says the archaeologist. “It’s more likely that she was brought to the bog to be honoured – perhaps because she had a great knowledge about nature, or because she had a special affiliation to the bog, which would have made it a very appropriate final resting place for her.”

It is likely that women wore a simple, long, sleeveless dress, possibly a simple tube of cloth pinned or sewn together at the shoulders. This might have been worn over a blouse or shirt. Men had been wearing trousers in northern and western Europe since the Late Bronze Age when horse riding became common and these would have been worn along with a shirt. Both sexes would have also worn cloaks. Demant, I. 1996. Konstruktionen af jernalderdragterne til Hjemsted Oldtidspark. Arkæologi i Slesvig 5/1996, 47-54. In the analysis work, which was conducted at a Belgian research institute, the scientists extracted the chemical components of the textile dyes, which enabled them to map the chemical composition of the colours.
