Flax: a plant having small leaves, blue flowers and stems about two feet tall. Flax was pulled out of the ground, not cut. This backbreaking work was done mostly by men. Half-ripe flax stems made the best thread. If the stems were too ripe, they were used for mats and rope. Flax stems were soaked for several days. The fibers were separated. Then the fibers were beaten until soft. The spinner attached the fibers to the spindle. The fibers were twisted into strong thread. The weaving was done on a loom.

Here we look at some of the information gleaned from both these sources and artefacts. FOOD PRODUCERS Many Old Kingdom tombs at Saqqara depict scenes of activities such as hunting, fishing and cattle herding.
