In 2016, during a rescue excavation a 10th c. graveyard recovered at the Derecske-Nagymező-dűlő in Eastern part of Hungary. One grave of the cemetery (Feature 643) was furnished with typical metal finds of this period. On the surface of some metal finds, many textile remain conserved. The textile remains were mainly silk fabrics. Among the silk remnants are examples of both types of weft-faced compound weaves; we could identify weft-faced compound twill (samite) fragments and weft-faced compound tabby (taqueté) remains too. Besides these remnants, the taqueté is rare in the 10th c. archaeological heritage of the Carpathian Basin. The parallels of these polychrome silk taqueté finds are known from the Middle East.

After the examination, the results will be contrasted to comparable examples which suggest that both the burial and the sword date to the 9th c.
