Notizen:
Summary. The material described came from the Ancient Kerma civilisation (c. 2000 B. C.) and comprised 19 haired skin samples from Kerma itself with a further nine from the site of Kadruka. Diameter distributions were determined on hair cut from the skin, and the skin itself was sectioned histologically in a plane parallel to the skin surface.Most of the samples had a non-fleeced‘Hair’type of coat, but three were immensely interesting in suggesting fleeces of hairy medium type, which represents the first indication of the development of a fleece.The distribution of most of the hair diameters was that of the winter coat suggesting that the animals had been killed during the winter. This was supported by the presence of inactive wool roots within the skin.
