A scholarly article published in 1980 by Patricia Davison and Patrick Harries in the journal Textile History, Volume 11. From archaeological evidence, such as spindle whorls found at 26 different sites, it shows that cotton spinning and weaving were well-established long before European contact. The paper provides a detailed historical and technological analysis of indigenous textile production in South-east Africa (primarily present-day Zimbabwe and Mozambique) before it was largely displaced by imported cloth. A number of illustrations and photographs. 18 Pages. Reprint. Condition: Very good. Binding: Softcover.
