Abstract
The conservation for study and storage of two dissimilar collections of archaeological textiles initiated an investigation of mounting systems for two-dimensional textiles. A two-phase modular solution based upon standard sizes is described. It consists of a simple, ready-made temporary mount, and a double-window mount for study and permanent storage. The modular format and standard sizes enables mounts to be constructed systematically and several at a time reducing both material waste and labor outlay without compromising material, design, or construction quality. -- AATA
