Abstract

The aim of the study is to describe textile production based on the dimensions of the tools.The article deals with the type of fibres used regarding archaeobotanical finds, natural conditions, the number of archaeological finds as well as state of research at other Aeneolithic sites in Europe. It gives thus a comprehensive picture of the textile production at Hlinsko, with the aim not only to describe the tools themselves but to expound the organisation and specialisation of textile production during late prehistory in general.
