Many of the common utensils used in prehistoric agricultural settlements were textile products. They were indispensable to carry out everyday tasks in the context of a sedentary lifestyle. Textiles matter – the Neolithic revolution would not have taken place without them. From 2019 to 2021, the THEFBO project focused on “Textile craftsmanship in the prehistoric wetland settlements on Lake Constance and Upper Swabia – requirements for textiles and their perception”. Volume II of the THEFBO publications contains the proceedings of a conference held online from 24th–26th February 2021.
