pazyryk carpet::Bohmer released his findings that the same dye was used in the felts as was used in the pazyryk carpet.
What this tells us is that the pazyryk carpet and the felts were both made in the same place.
That being so now the origin of the pazyryk carpet must be reexamined.
I am in no great rush to come to a conclusion i will be posting rugnotes pages as i find piece that fit this puzzle.
My recollection is that bohmer determined that the dye was not one found in middle eastern and central asian carpets and textiles.
The dye analysis most closely matched polish cochineal.
This however is a dye as i stated that is not seen in any similar textiles.
I strongly suspect that this is from a a dye source found in the tarim basin.
There is currently a dye study of the textiles found in the tarim basin archeological digs.
I suspect that this will clarify the situation considerably.
One problem with this is that the tests are limited to some extent by the test samples.
The tarim basin tests should be a considerable help in sorting things out.
