Bravermanová, Milena ; Březinová, Helena ; Bureš Víchová, J.
The article presents a unique collection of fragments of liturgical textiles, insignia and other objects from the 11th to 13th centuries from the graves of Prague bishops from the St. Vitus Cathedral. The core part of the collection consists of fragments of silk fabrics and laces, from which parts of the liturgical vestments were originally made. Other finds are objects made of various materials, such as leather shoes, parts of crosiers and liturgical objects.
Identifying the materials in archaeological textiles
Březinová, Helena ; Pechočiaková, M. ; Grabmüllerová, J.
Given their organic origin, textiles rank among the rarest archaeological finds. While the vast majority of these artefacts are preserved as small fragments or mineralised remnants, their detailed textile technology study provides interesting and important information about the use of textile techniques and the quality of processing. The most important information concerns the utilised textile materials, but for degraded textiles, these materials are among the most difficult information to obtain. Image analysis using electron microscopy (SEM) is a significant aide in this pursuit.
