Abstract
This economical storage system is designed to house a collection of many small, highly degraded archaeological wool textile fragments. The system ensures the integrity of the textile fragments in storage, protects other holdings in the collection from small particles of sand and soil remaining on the archaeological fragments, minimizes handling of the textile fragments while making them accessible for examination, and groups fragments by yarn and fabric construction.
