[Regia-NA] Sumptuary Laws

[Nicholson, Andrew]

Good Morning Jennifer!,

What are you still doing up? Its 9.44 am over here and in-to-work time =

Hempen rope provenencable. No extant hemp cloth, but then plant fibres =
are
notoriously difficult to preserve, and their recovery from =
archaeological
contexts is usually a matter of chance. That's why there's so little
preserved linen from the period. Same goes for nettle fibres too.
