Description

The presence of weights in Sardinia, often associated with spindle whorls, is the main source of information about weaving. These objects appear from the Neolithic to become frequent in the Bronze and Iron Ages and their function was to keep the warp threads taut. The contexts of finding the weights are prevalent in the residential sphere, less frequently in the cultic and to a lesser extent in the funerary sphere, suggesting a role that goes beyond the domestic sphere.
