Abstract
The article summarizes 70 years of Polish research on archaeological textiles. Their beginning was associated with the discoveries of textiles during the Millennium research of the 1950s and 60s. Textiles were then studied above all by A. Nahlik, but also A. Urbanska, A. Niesiolowska-Wedzka, and J. Stanclik. In the 1970s and 1980s, the author was the only researcher of archaeological textiles in Poland (ones from the Roman period, as well as from the Middle Ages and the Post-Medieval period). Since the 1990s, M. Grupa and A. Drązkowska have dealt with textiles and clothing, mainly from crypts. In the 21st century at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences centre in Łodź, a team for research on old textiles (J. Maik, A. Rybarczyk, J. Slomska, Ł. Antosik) was established that cooperates in the study of the structure of textiles with textile industry employees (M. Cybulska), while in the study of dyes with chemists (M. Biesaga). This enables us to fully show the human – the creator, producer, and user of textiles.
