Literature
- hod and possibly Caeppe and cappa although the latter 2 could also mean cap or cape. [OWEN-CROCKER 2004: p.82, 170]
- cucullus can mean a hood fastened to a garment, for instance a monk's cowl. [OWEN-CROCKER 2004: p.222]
- Hetta, siðr hattr, siðr höttr [EWING 2007]
Archaeology
- Denmark, Hedeby, The remains of a hood were found made of dark brown 2/2 twill (0.3-0.4mm thick), which originall would have been covered in tufts of wool giving it a fur-like appearance. The fragment is 55x20cm big and represents the back of a hood from the shoulders up to the top. The hood had a liripipe, 14cm wide where it attaches and now 15cm long but the original length can not be determined. The liripipe was made from one folded over piece of cloth. the hood was also folded along the top, sewn up the back and had a small dart (8cm at widest point) inserted at the bottom. However, Hagg is of the opinon this was open fronted hood that would have been attached to a coat, cloak or bodywarmer, and may have been used together with the felt animal face masks found in the harbour [HAGG 1991:p. 55-60]
- Norway, Skjoldehamn, wool hood [LOVLID 2009]
