Imprints of fabrics were observed on two fragments of earthenware from features 574 and 1745, discovered in a settlement dated back to the 8th century. In both cases, these are the imprints of fabrics manufactured in plain weave. On one vessel, the fabric was used to decorate the edge, and on the other – to smoothen the bottom and the adjacent part.
The paper discusses cloth impressions on the surface of early medieval pottery shards from site 362, Poznań Nowe-Miasto. The cloth was possibly made from flax and used a plain weave. Owing to the good preparation of yarn, a high quality product was obtained. It was wrapped around a potter’s tool, probably made of wood and used for smoothing out the outer surface of a 7th-8th-century vessel.
