Aloeswood/agarwood sustainable sourse

I have been doing more research on historical cooking and came across this helpful information. Aloeswood seems to be the word of choice in historical documents and their translations. Agarwood appears to be the modern equivalent word.

*************

Technology from our research is used to produce agarwood in plantations. We have set up an internet company to help the farmers in Vietnam sell their products and you can find agarwood for sale at: ScentedMountain.com

The agarwood chips and agarwood powder sold by Scented Mountain is pure "raw" agarwood right out of the tree so it would be as "food grade" as you can get.

Naqlan, Egypt: New information resource

I'm just on the front edge of looking into this. It appears that excavations have been taking place in Naqlan, Egypt on Coptic graves from the Fatimid period.

"Most of the Naqlun textiles come from the Fatimid period (AD 969-1171), although a few could be of Mamluk date (AD 1250-1517). " Quoted from:
http://www.pcma.uw.edu.pl/fileadmin/pam/PAM_2001_XIII/94.pdf

I'm very excited. Here's another one:

"The dating of the Naqlun tunic is based on the archaeological context, which points to the Fatimid period."

Please let me know if you have further resources.
