This article investigates textile production in the Nasrid Emirate by adopting a comprehensive approach that brings together Andalusi and Castilian written sources with evidence from the archaeological record. The analysis focuses, on the one hand, on the spatial distribution of the cultivation and manufacture of different textile fibres and, on the other, on the characterization of work practices in terms of their degree of specialization, the changing moral perception of certain activities, the emergence of less demanding forms of company, and the development of integrated workplaces. The resulting picture suggests that, especially in the case of certain fibres, production methods were undergoing significant transformation.
