Ornamenta vel vestimenta ex sepulchro abstulere Reflexiones en torno a la presencia de tejidos, adornos y accesorios de indumentaria en el mundo funerario del Mediterráneo tardoantiguo

摘要

The aim of this paper is to present a first approach to the functionality and symbology of the fabrics, ornaments and garments accessories for the funerary practices in the Mediterranean world between 4th and 10th c. In an attempt to integrate written and archaeological information we discuss various problems like the most frequent terminology, the rules of the funerary practice, the indumentary role as an element of prestige and social rank, its production and the funerary re-use of manufactures with a different source function.
