Prehistoric Man, Bronze Age Weaver
Entitled: "The First Weaver." The tradition of weaving traces back to Neolithic times, approximately 12,000 years ago. The basic principle of weaving was applied to interlace branches and twigs to create fences, shelters and baskets for protection. 20,000-30,000 years ago early man developed the first string by twisting together plant fibers. Preparing thin bundles of plant material and stretching them out while twisting them together produced a fine string or thread. Stone Age Man's early experiments with string and thread lead to the first woven textiles. During the Neolithic Era mankind developed great skill in weaving cloth. Every household produced cloth for their own needs. Archeologists discovered an image of a loom on a pottery dish in an Egyptian tomb that dates from 4400 BC. "Primitive Man" by Louis Figuier, 1871.
