You may want to check the Cambridge online resources. I seem to remember
that they had a few publications covering Mesopotamian textile impressions
and some possible textile items.
When I was in college oh low those many years ago one of the classes that
was required for my degree was one specifically about Mesopotamia. (I did
not finish my degree.) Since that was in the early 80's they sure as hell
must have found something by now since they have had so many new things come
up in the last 2 decades.
You must also remember that at one point or another Iran, Anatolia, Syria
and Palestine were also a part of Mesopotamia. Textiles, if they survived, I
would bet are at Cambridge. :)

Funny you should mention that book. I just so happen to have made a

I've been wondering. any consensus among you all?
Shrug. It's hard to say. To my knowledge, there aren't really any
archaeological textile finds (as opposed to jewelry and clay tablets) in
what
was then Mesopotamia.... If I'm wrong, I'd be delighted to hear about it!
