Fibre and perishable artifacts present unique analytical, conservation, and interpretive challenges stemming from their inherent perishability and the lack of attention they receive. Recent research highlights the need for further work on basic plant fibre identification procedures and reference materials, as well as on basic training in artifact identification, description, handling, and storage procedures. This session invites papers and project descriptions focused on detailed recording, conservation and analysis of fibre and perishable artifacts from archaeological, historical, or museum contexts. We welcome projects that demonstrate the research value and potential of these artifacts, that contribute to or utilize new methods for fibre or dye identification, or that demonstrate best practices for handling, recording, and storing fibre and perishable artifacts and associated tools.
