Textile Production and Writing. Connections and transformations in the Iron Age of northeastern Italy

be analysed. They constitute almost 30% of all Raetic inscribed objects, if we consider together the iscriptions published in the Monumenta Linguae Raeticae (MLM) and the loom weights from Monte Loffa (MLR; Marchesini & Migliavacca 2016; 2018), thus representing an interesting connection between weaving and writing. In order to explore the possible connections between writing and textile activity, we considered all Raetic inscribed objects within the corpus that seem to be connected with spinning or weaving activities. For some of them, given their exceptionality and uniqueness in the Raetian area and pre-Roman epigraphic culture in general, we have proposed a possible relevance to the theme. This relevance may be confirmed or denied in the future, but their publication will at least allow them to be used to compare future studies or discoveries.
