Archaeological textile finds represent a unique and, thanks to their organic nature, a rare source for learning about an important component of material culture, that was part of the daily life of people in the past. Thorough research, analyses, processing and the evaluation of preserved textiles provides an overview of the development of used materials and their working, as well as of the method, level and organization of textile production and all related crafts. The territory of the Czech Republic does not offer too suitable conditions for preserving archaeological organic material, therefore, fabric remnants are scarce, but appearing finds. Small textile scraps from medieval town waste layers and objects, remnants of fabric structure in corrosive products of metal objects coming from grave finds of the younger prehistoric age and early middle ages can be encountered most frequently of all. Relatively well preserved fabrics also appear together with human remains in tombs and crypts of the medieval as well as modern age.
