'Warm water form': reducing, detanning , softening, health, pleasure...

            For this montage, I've drawn a figure wearing woven textiles and recognisable elements including a brimmed hat. The site is in the north of Spain. Simple and functional clothing elements may have deeper chronologies than we imagine, with this depiction targeting the chalcolithic bridge period around the start of the bronze age and perhaps the hat featured is in a fine woven 'straw'. The viewer may prefer to visualise other details: skin tint, partial nudity and ornaments and I have made no attempt to be 'realistic', simply to set a scene.

The water heats up in a shallow pool before being transferred into a deeper pool for actions such as softening lengths for weaving. Evaporation will be reduced once in the deeper pool. 

The figure has a pole with a rectangle of leather for directing and agitating the water. The red pigment is based on garance and fabrics are fine but heavy when compared with todays threads.

Visitors who have walked up the Ebro valley may greet their feet, acorns may soak to loose their bitter taste prior to grinding into flour, perfumes may be reduced and weaves dyed naturally. Heated river stones may be engaged if the sun is low.
