I found a book on Neolithic textiles on Google books: Prehistoric Textiles: The Development of Cloth in the Neolithic and Bronze ... By E. J. W. Barber

I can't cut and paste it but the gist is that they have an actual example of twisted cord found in clay- dating from 15,000 BC and about 20,000 BC they have "a clear representation of twisted string on a carved venus figure" P40
