Spindle whorls are an ubiquitous artifact, yet can often be elusive in their interpretation. Nomenclature inconsistencies make comparative studies challenging, and lack of information or detail on primary context can compromise efforts to reconstruct the organization of textile production. Given these limitations, several important technical studies of spindle whorls have recently appeared in the literature, allowing a broad comparative study to take place for the Iranian Plateau. This paper examines whorls from several sites, from Sarazm in northwestern Tajikistan to Cheshmeh Ali in north-central Iran, from the mid-fi fth to the later third millennium BCE, to fi nd broad trends in spinning technology over time and across space.
