Dyes in History and Archaeology 33/34: Including Papers Presented at the 33rd Meeting Held at Glasgow, UK, 29-31 October 2014 and the 34th Meeting at Thessaloniki, Greece, 22-23 October, 2015

The 19th-early 20th century was a time of change in the technology of dyes and dyeing: brilliantly coloured synthetic dyes came onto the market and were welcomed into the world of fashionable clothing. Natural dyes still had a part to play, however: locally available dyes could make a significant contribution to the revival or development of the economy of a region, such as the Scottish Highlands during the First World War.These are just some of the topics presented at the 33rd and 34th meetings of Dyes in History and Archaeology held in Glasgow (2014) and Thessaloniki (2015). Other analytical methods, historical Chinese dyeing practices and the endlessly fascinating topic of indigo may also be found in this book.
