Blue pigments in Central Asia
#3
That's an interesting thought; using dyes to stain paint doesn't tend to spring to mind, but I suppose it could work if the paint were whitened with chalk.  I have read that woad is endemic to Central Asia and I've always figured it could have been used for fabric.  By Elizabeth Wayland Barber's book, I presume you mean Prehistoric Textiles?

I will go ahead and contact Eran ud Turan today.  Thanks for that!

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.
