In the years 1961-61 and 1964-69 Departament of Archaeology, Adam Mickiewicz University (today's Institute of Prehistory, Adam Mickiewicz University) led to the discovery of a 'professional' center of bronze production located in the fortifield settlement of the Lusatian culture communities. The Bnin workshop was used for a short time. Fragments of little smelting crucibles and cast form was reanalyzed in terms of fabric impressions (textile negatives). Altogether 17 fragments od clay forms and 6 fragments od little smelting crucibles were analyzed. A raw material was not identified (impressions of elementary yarns thickness was 0,015-0,016 mm). A right twisted Z/2S or Z/2Z? of differentiated warp (O - 0,682 mm) and weft (W - 0,825 mm) was used. Fragments produced in a diagonal splice 2/2., and it was thick product of III class density. It is difficult to estimate whether observed impressions on a little smelting crucible and on form fragments were created by a cloth fragment (re-used by metallurgist as a 'production farbric') or rather by special 'rag' used to press the bulk into the model.
