The tiny pieces of fabric, some only 5 x 5 centimetres in size, vary in colour, weaving technique and ornamentation.

The arid conditions of the mines have seen the remarkable preservation of 3,000-year-old organic materials, including seeds, leather and fabric, and other extremely rare artefacts that provide a unique window into the culture and practices of this period.The textiles also offer insight into the complex society of the early Edomites, the semi-nomadic people believed to have operated the mines at Timna. "No textiles have ever been found at excavation sites like Jerusalem, Megiddo and Hazor, so this provides a unique window into an entire aspect of life from which we’ve never had physical evidence before," said a researcher. The ancient copper mines in Timna are located in Israel’s Arava Valley and are believed by some to be the site of King Solomon’s mines.
