give reason why archeologist found fragments of cottn cloths during excavation in mohnjodaro silmilar to cloths found in mesopotamin excavation
Answers
Answer:
No textiles of any description are ordinarily preserved at Mohenjo-daro owing to the nature of the soil of that place, but adhering to the lid of the small silver case illustrated in Plate CXL, a small piece of woven material was found taht had been preserved by being impregnated with silver salts.
This fragment of cloth was submitted to Mr. James Turner, Director of the Technological Research laboratory, Bombay, for examination, who remarks in his preliminary report that "the fibre was exceedingly tender and broke under very small stresses. However, some preparations were obtained revealing the convoluted structure characteristic of cotton. However, some preparations were completely penetrated by fungal hyphae. The appearance of one of the convoluted fibres is shown in the accompanying photography (Pl. CLIX, 6 and 7 [shown above]). As this examination has been confined to a fragment measuring 0.1 inch in one direction and 0.3 inch in the other direction, these results can only be regarded as tentative."
