Résumé
Garments are a civilisation fact in ancient Mesopotamia. Made of linen, then wool, it is highly dependent on the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, born and developed from the 9th millennium on. Textiles rarely survived in Mesopotamian soils. In their absence, specialists are concentrating their efforts on different sources: mineralised fabric on metal objects, textile imprints on clay, textile tools such as spindle whorls and loom weights, iconography, and cuneiform texts. All these sources are incomplete and do not necessarily overlap. Analysed all together, they make it possible to reconstruct the "chaîne opératoire" of textile production from fibre to cloth, and to understand regional varieties.
