Ageing of native cellulose fibres under archaeological conditions: textiles from the Dead Sea region studied using synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction
Applied Physics A, 2007•Springer
Archaeological cellulose textile fibres (linen and cotton) from caves in the Dead Sea region
were investigated using synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction. The degradation of the up to
2100 year old fibres was found to depend on the climatic conditions at the place of storage.

Abstract
Archaeological cellulose textile fibres (linen and cotton) from caves in the Dead Sea region were investigated using synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction. The degradation of the up to 2100 year old fibres was found to depend on the climatic conditions at the place of storage. The size and the lattice parameters of the cellulose nanocrystals (microfibrils) in the fibres change upon degradation; these parameters are shown to be strongly correlated, leading to a microscopic description of the degradation process in terms of molecular disorder. Artificial ageing does not seem to reproduce the effects observed here for the first time on archaeological cellulose fibres.
