Early Bronze Age textiles dating from 2000-1500 BC are rare in Europe. They are all made of a hairy wool with various amounts of kemp fibres sticking out. This is the case for the mineralised textiles found in Tursko-Těšina, Czech Republic, dated to 1900-1800 BC. These offer particular insights into the types of wool used for Bronze Age textiles as they are the oldest textile structures from the territory of the Czech and Slovak Republics. A new, detailed survey of the preserved textile structure aimed particularly at determination of the raw material used in its manufacture was carried out by the authors in 2013.
