A remarkable archaeological find has been uncovered at Cabezo Redondo, a Bronze Age site in Villena, Alicante, Spain. The discovery, a complete vertical warp-weighted loom with its wooden elements, esparto grass cords, and clay weights, offers insights into Bronze Age weaving technology. The find is located in the Wells area of Cabezo Redondo, providing a nearly complete picture of Bronze Age weaving. The site is significant for studying textile production in Bronze Age Europe due to its exceptional preservation and simultaneous preservation of wood, plant fibers, and clay weights.
