Накратко на български

Туниките в Египет между VII и X век се анализират чрез сравнение на старите римско-византийски стилове с новите модели след арабското завоевание. Това помага да се разбере как облеклата изразяват идентичността на хората и как различните култури са се влияели взаимно.

The expression of cultural cross-fertilization in Egyptian clothing of the 7th-10th centuries AD.

The TUNICS project is an innovative comparative study of the garments people were wearing in Egypt during the Early-Medieval period. The main focus is on the tunic. In all civilizations, clothing has essentially played a similar role, in which the primary function is to protect the body, but additionally, clothing is used to express the wearers’ identity. TUNICS is the first comprehensive study of clothing from this period in Egypt and aims to provide a systematic overview of an almost entirely unexplored field in Egyptian archaeology. This research is foremost an object-based study of tunics from various settings: several museums as well as and the excavation site of the cemetery of Fag el-Gamus (Fayyum) and the of the military settlement of Hisn al-Bab on the Egyptian-Nubian border. The tunic was the most common garment during the Roman and Byzantine period and still remained so after the Arab conquest in 642 AD. From this period onwards, in addition to the type of tunic which had been worn since the Roman period, a new type of tunic was introduced. The TUNICS project focuses on the reciprocal influences of the old style and the new style. The research conducted in the framework of the TUNICS project has been organised around four objectives. • To produce a detailed analysis of the tunics and tunic fragments from Egypt (7th – 10th centuries AD) from selected museum collections and two excavation sites. • Create a new analytical tool and typology of tunics that will address the differences and similarities between the two main styles of tunics worn in the Early Medieval period and the mutual influences of both styles • Comparative study of the analytical results and empirical research • To develop an open access dataset with the main information on the tunics.

Цел на проекта

The TUNICS project explores the impact of cultural cross-fertilization between the diverse populations in Egypt in the Early Medieval period (7th - 10th centuries AD) through an innovative, comparative study of the tunics, the basic garment in Ancient Egypt, and items par excellence to express their wearers’ identity. TUNICS will be the first comprehensive study of clothing from this period in Egypt and will provide a systematic overview of an almost entirely unexplored field in Egyptian archaeology. Both comparative, experimental archaeology and innovative digital research methods will be used to fully investigate the relationship between the garments and their wearer. This research will be primarily object-based and the comparative analysis of data gathered from various museum collections and archaeological sites will not only enhance the insight in technical crafts knowledge, but will also contribute to the understanding of the development of ancient garments and offer a unique perspective to explore different aspects of cultural identity and society. The TUNICS project is hosted by the University of Copenhagen’s Centre for Textile Research (CTR) a world-wide renowned institute in the field of ancient textile studies. The project will benefit from the stimulating and interdisciplinary scientific environment, training opportunities and CTR’s international network.The comparative study will be communicated through a series of academic publications and conferences. An Open Access database will be accessible to professionals as well as to a broader audience with interest in costume and textile history.
