Textile production has deep roots in the past, and knowledge of the processing and use of textile fibres can be assumed since the Stone Age. Over the centuries, textile production has constantly improved and a range of raw materials and textile bindings have been used. In archaeological finds we rarely encounter the remains of fragile textile material, however, it is possible to reconstruct the level, maturity and variety of textile structures in the past, above all from small discovered fragments, most often from burial or waste features. The article provides an overview of weaves, their characteristics and specific examples identified in preserved textiles from archaeological finds in the Czech Republic dating to the period from the Early to the Late Middle Ages.
