N2 - A large systematic dye investigation of prehistoric Danish and Norwegian bog textiles was carried outusing high performance liquid chromatography with photo diode array detection. After the selection ofthe most suitable protocol for dye extraction and HPLC analysis for this specific group of archaeologicalsamples, the second part included the characterisation of the dyes detected in the whole series of theEarly Iron Age textiles and the interpretation of the dyeing technology. Natural organic dyes were foundfrom the three main categories of natural dyes, hence throwing new light on the use of biological dyesources in Early Iron Age Scandinavia. The results clearly indicate that most Scandinavian peat bogtextiles originally were dyed and that already during the 1st millennium BC, the populations in Scandinaviawere familiar with the dyeing technology.
