Fostat eventually became used as a rubbish disposal area for Cairo, which is no doubt how so many textile fragments ended up there. - **Kind:** artefact - **Date:** 1400–1499 CE --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inp.artefact.vam.is-75-1972](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.artefact.vam.is-75-1972) · Pramāṇa
