The well-preserved textiles uncovered at ‘En Marzev are an important contribution to the study of textiles dating from the Early Islamic period (seventh–ninth centuries CE). The textiles, most of which are very simple, are made of wool, goat hair, linen and cotton. The linen textiles provide evidence for short-range import, either from Galilee or the Jordan Valley, while the Z-spun cottons were probably imported from India or Yemen. The most fascinating find is a cotton textile decorated with silk threads wrapped with silver strips. Ten tangles of woolen fibers found at the site might indicate that at least some spinning and weaving was carried out on-site.
