Wow! I'm more interested in the Scientific Analysis of Ancient and Historic Textiles. Based on the description, it might provide more information regarding the weave and fibers of the textiles which, I think, might provide vital clues as to the how and why of fabric behavior on the human body. For example, if one could look at the spin of the fiber and the weave of the fiber, it could explain why certain extant fabrics in costumes seem to be more stretchy and not wrinkle or more rigid, causing stress wrinkles.
