What I find fascinating is that the pieces of fabric were woven to shape and not cut. And they were woven to fit specific individuals, so the abstract says.

The patterns in the fabric, Are very similar to those found on the American continents as well.

It does make it clear how cultural practices and languages spread more rapidly once humans started riding horses and the like.

There is a very interesting discussion in the comments at the link.
