A scientific study on the properties of flax fibres. Contains a short survey of literature on Phormium, related to other lignocellulosic fibres. The emphasis in the survey is to put the conservation problem in context and to point to those technical articles which may be relevant to someone dealing with ancient materials. There follows a practical study of the impact of heating the fibres in the absence and presence of oxygen and in water.
