An article surveying archaeological finds of textiles in Russian and Soviet territory, from Scythian graves on the Black Sea to Han-period burials at Noin Ula (Mongolia), Oglakty and Pazirik (Siberia), and later T'ang, Sung and Byzantine imports. It describes Chinese embroidered silks and woolen embroideries with tiger-skin motifs, argues for Chinese use of wool in Han times, and discusses how steppe nomads used imported fabrics and felt. Illustrated with photographs of Hermitage fragments; extensive footnotes cite Russian and Western scholarship.
