The paper presents results of the research concerning previously unknown fragments of textiles from the early Iron Age period, originating from a burial ground in Łabędy-Przyszówka. The collection of textiles from this burial ground, previously thought to be complete, has thus been extended. In view of the above, the paper provides an update on the state of research on textiles from this site. The presented material includes the results of technological analyses carried out in the 1940s, supplemented with the latest tests of the newly discovered fragments.

The main aim of the paper is to present the cognitive possibilities given by textiles found in graves from the early Iron Age. Apart from information on techniques used in prehistoric weaving, they also allow, unfortunately only in certain cases, to determine their original function. Textile materials discovered up to now at cemeteries from Poland have been most likely the remains of shrouds, pouches or clothes. These remains, in combination with numerous textile materials from Europe, are an important source of information about the communities living in Poland in the early Iron Age. Undoubtedly, garments were one of the determinants of cultural affiliation in prehistory. It consisted of metal jewellery, commonly discovered during excavations, but also definitely less frequent finds of clothing remains.

The paper aims to present the state of research on Roman Period archaeological textiles and new, 21st century perspectives for further analyses. The textiles proves to be important from the viewpoint of provincial economy, trade and cultural exchange. That is why, a special emphasis is put on the textile types, which are called Roman imports.

In 2005, in Piotrków Trybunalski, at 4 Pijarska Street, rescue excavations were conducted by Dr Janusz Pietrzak from the University of Łódź. During the archaeological works, remains of a woollen sack were found. Owing to the fact that both the textile and seeds were discovered in one layer, it is justifiable to assume that the sack was used to store loose materials. The discussed textile remains were found in the layer of an object dated to the period from the mid-16th o the early 17th century. In the 16th century, Piotrków Trybunalski was one of the leading centres of broadcloth industry in the area of the Sieradz Voivodship. At that time, broadcloth production in Piotrków Trybunalski was organized within a guild. In order to protect the selling markets, a ban was introduced in 1532 that prevented foreign merchants from selling cloth of worse quality than the one produced by local craftsmen. Actions intended to control the trade in the town were mainly targeted against rural producers. The analyzed textile could be described as of simple execution. The material for the production of the Piotrków sack is sheep wool. The textile’s weave is tabby. Additionally, partly preserved brocading is found on two fragments of the textile. It cannot be excluded that the discussed textile remains are remains of a sack that was produced of a reused piece of garment, for instance, a coat.

This study concerns two objects discovered in 1960 in the course of excavations conducted in the collegiate church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Kruszwica. The findings in question involve embroidery in silk and metal threads on plain and incised satinum. One of the pieces of embroidery shows the figures of bishops, and the other – Latin inscriptions. An analysis of the weaving and embroidery material and techniques as well as a comparative analysis of similar objects from the same period made it possible to formulate a hypothesis about their origin and significance: the first is a fragment of a stole, and the second is a cingulum.

Zamek Praski był najważniejszym miejscem pochówku czeskich władców i ich krewnych. Groby znajdują się w kościele Matki Boskiej, w kościele i klasztorze pod wezwaniem św. Jerzego oraz, najliczniej, w katedrze św. Wita. Grobowce z relikwiami najważniejszych świętych patronów Czech również znajdują się na Zamku Praskim w bazylice św. Jerzego, katedrze św. Wita oraz kościele Wszystkich Świętych. Wiemy także o grobach dwunastu praskich biskupów w katedrze św. Wita. Większość wspomnianych grobów otwierano już kilkukrotnie w przeszłości z różnych powodów, co przysporzyło różnego rodzaju problemów, spośród których najpoważniejszym było mylenie relikwii. Pierwsze systematyczne badania antropologiczne przeprowadzono na początku XX w. Szczątki niemal wszystkich postaci historycznych pochowanych na Zamku Praskim zostały udostępnione do innego badania antropologicznego przeprowadzonego w latach 60. XX w. Obecnie trwają dalsze badania obejmujące nowoczesne analizy w zakresie nauk przyrodniczych. Wydobyte w przeszłości wyposażenie grobowe w większości przypadków nie było należycie traktowane głównie ze względu na brak świadomości prawidłowych procedur postępowania z artefaktami, które wiele lat spędziły w nieodpowiednich warunkach panujących w grobach i grobowcach. Wyposażenie grobowe często było konserwowane w nieprawidłowy sposób. Poziom konserwacji znacznie wzrósł po tym, jak w 2000 r. powstały warsztaty renowacyjno-konserwatorskie. Otwieranie grobów jest problematyczne, a biorąc pod uwagę kwestie etyczne, powinno do niego dochodzić wyłącznie w ograniczonym zakresie. Częstym powodem są konieczne prace budowlane i w takich przypadkach należy okazywać szczątkom należyty szacunek. Z kolei z wydobywanym wyposażeniem grobowym należy postępować we właściwy sposób, gdyż artefakty te często stanowią niezastąpione dziedzictwo, które należy poddawać naukowym analizom. Sam głód wiedzy, często związany z próbą wywołania sensacji, nie upoważnia nas do zakłócania miejsc pochówku naszych przodków nieprzemyślanymi działaniami.

Prague Castle was the most important burial site of the Czech rulers and their relatives. The graves are located in the Church of the Virgin Mary, in St. George Church and Convent, and, in the greatest numbers in the St. Vitus Cathedral. Reliquary tombs of the most important Czech patron saints are also located at Prague Castle – in St. George Basilica, in St. Vitus Cathedral and in All Saints Church. We also know the graves of 12 Prague bishops that are located in the St. Vitus Cathedral. The majority of the aforementioned graves have been opened several times in the past for a variety of reasons, that caused various problems, the most serious of which involved the confusion of relics. The first systematic anthropological investigations were conducted at the beginning of the 20th century. The remains of nearly all historical personalities buried at Prague Castle were available for another anthropological study conducted in the 1960s. Currently, the research continues with modern nature science analyzes. In the past, removed grave goods did not receive proper care for the most part, mainly due to a lack of understanding as to what constituted correct procedures for handling artefacts deposited for years in the unsuitable conditions of graves and tombs. The grave goods themselves were often restored in an inappropriate manner. The restoration situation improved significantly after the establishment of restoration and conservation workshops in 2000. The opening of graves is problematic and, from an ethical point of view, should be performer only to a very limited extent. Necessary construction work is a common reason for disruption, and in this case remains should be treated with respect. And if grave goods are removed, they must be cared for in a proper manner, as these artefacts are often irreplaceable heritage whose scientific study is a legitimate pursuit. The mere lust for knowledge, often connected with efforts to generate sensation, does not entitle us to disturb the resting place of our ancestors with ill-considered interventions.
