This use case explores a unique collection of ancient textiles unearthed across various regions of Greece, dating from the 10th century BCE to the 11th century CE. These rare finds, preserved through mineralisation, offer an extraordinary window into the evolution of textile craftsmanship across centuries, from intricate weaving to delicate gold-thread embroidery. 

Despite their fragmentary condition and fragile state, the textiles retain remarkable structural and decorative features such as fringes, tassels, and traces of original dyes. However, their preservation poses significant challenges: many are extremely small in size, dark in tone, and possess glossy or reflective surfaces, making them difficult to study and digitally capture. 

Through this use case, TEXTaiLES aims to digitally reconstruct and safeguard these artefacts using a combination of cutting-edge imaging technologies and 3D modelling. The result will be highly detailed, interactive digital twins that not only reveal invisible details but also support conservation planning and enrich public understanding of ancient Greek textile heritage.
