An analysis of fabrics impressions on pottery from the 9™ to 11™ century from Góra, Site 1, Pobiedziska commune, Wielkopolska voivodeship
Abstract
Results of the analysis of fabrics impressions on pottery brings about a valuable information
about materials used in potter’s workshops. It seems that old rags were most commonly used there.
Craftsmen employed them for the following purposes: (a) to get a molded vessel unstuck from pad
and/or wheel (the rag was put under the bottom - possibly instead of filling); (b) to smooth vessel’s
surface (after it has been formed); (c) to carry finished, albeit still soft pot; (d) to put a drying vessel on
the fabric. A study of “pottery” fabrics, often completely ignored by scholars, is not of trivial importance
for the reconstruction of textile products, not only in the Middle Ages.
