ABSTRACT
Archaeological evidence is abundant from works of art: statues, reliefs, cylinder seals, and written documents. Evidence from actual remains of cloth, linen, wool or skin is sketchy. Such evidence as there is comes from a few fragments found mostly in the Royal Cemetery (Woolley 1934: 238). Ration payments for weavers and the quantities of garments for sale or for export are documented in the texts (for the textile industry, see Wright this volume).
