FINDS OF STRUCTURAL DETAILS OF COMPOSITE BOWS FROMANCIENT RUS
A paper discussing the appearance and distribution of the composite bow. I am honestly a bit skeptical about the article--it's calling a Rus bow after Hungarian and Eastern types, and not leaving room for other forms.

"Semiotics of the Cloth": Reading Medieval Norse Textile Traditions
Kristen Marie Tibbs
ABSTRACT:
Reading textiles from medieval Norse society supplements written sources and also provides insight into the voice of the individual who crea...ted these textiles. This project puts women and traditionally female tasks at the forefront of historical thought and analysis. I demonstrate that we can read textiles (via their material, color, style, and geographic location) alongside texts in order to expand our understanding of past cultures. Along with valuable archaeological remains of textiles and textile production tools, this research incorporates examples from the Sagas of the Icelanders in order to further understand the significance and symbolism of clothing and production in literature and daily life. I also focus on the finished head coverings worn by women in medieval Norway and analyze specific garments from the collection uncovered at Herjolfsnæs, Greenland in order to address questions about the complex social cues related to clothing and textile production.
