The excavation of the Byzantine Street in the City of David, Jerusalem, yielded bundles of thread preserved through carbonization.

Despite their poor state of preservation, which makes it difficult to determine the nature of the object and its precise date, this study offers several possible interpretations based on the analytical results and preliminary findings.
