Bronze age women in Southern Spain textile workers

Textile related work tasks were only carried out by women during the Bronze Age (1900-1600 BC) in southern Spain, a new study of dental records shows. Researchers analysed teeth of 106 individuals buried in Granada, southern Spain, who were part of the 'Argaric' culture 4,000 years ago. Dental wear including notches, flakes and grooves on the enamel, resulted from the manipulation of plant and animal fibres used to produce textiles and baskets.
