2 The description of the sleeve, the original garment (N9),
its weave, and composition is mainly based on informa-
tion provided in Hubei 19853, 20, 29 (fig. 29.1), 33-34,
56-57, 63, 66, 71, and in Chen and Zhang 1982, 9-11.

4 Wang 1979, 49; Kuhn 1982, 384 - 385.
5 The chain-stitch technique may have been used 3s early
as the Shsng dynasty and the Western Zhou period; see
Sylwan 1949,119, and Huang 1985, pi. 2.
6 The description of the weave structure of the textile (N 9)
given in Hubei 19853, 33-34, contradicts the description
in Chen and Zhsng 1982,10, who 3rgue thst sfter three
weft (shuttle) entries in plain weave, one weft is inserted
to fix the doup end.
7 The structure of the weave as it is drawn in Hubei 19853,
29, fig. 29.1, suggests thst all four warp ends may have
been used as doup ends as well. This is highly improbable,
and resolution of the question awaits 3 technics! 3n3lysis
of the wesve. For the time being, we 3ccept Peng Hao's
argument (1982, 5) that the ground structure of the weave
is the same 3s that of the gauze (No. 340-17) from Tomb i
st Mawangdui. The drawing of fig. 2 is reconstructed on
the assumption thst the observstion of Peng Hao is valid.

9 The description of this psrt of the body shroud (qin),
identified by some Chinese srcrmeologists 3s a coverlet
(Jin), is based on information in Hubei 19853,12, 25-26,
31, 41-43; Kuhn 19953, 88-90; Goepper 1995, 344; Raw-
son 1996,148.
10 A precise description of the weaving flaw swsits publica-
tion of the technical analysis of Chinese textile historians.
