 Now I will take you back at the beginnings of textile research, because from where I came, we are actually there at the beginnings. So, this presentation is a result of the project, textile production in prehistoric times in the territory of Macedonia, during which artifacts for producing textile from Neolithic period until Iron Age were documented, and also documentation of preserved textile and basketary impression from Neolithic and Neolithic period was provided. As part of this project, a reconstruction of prehistoric long was made in the waving technique preserved on the ceramic fragments discovered in the settlements. In this presentation, I will focus on the textile impression from the Neolithic settlements. The analysis is based on 39 impressions of bottom fragments on ceramic vessels and one leg of an altar from six settlements in the Neolithic period. We tried to identify the process of craftsmanship and the features of the textile. The wave analysis and technological classification point to only one technique, a two, three, or a double wave finding where the warp is the passive and the wave is the active element of the structure. We identified two variations of two-thread wave finding. On 29 impressions, we were able to identify tight, simple, twist winding where the rows of the waves are tightly packed on 80 impressions, close, simple, twist winding where the rows are tightly packed where the rows are slightly separated and on two impressions, we were not able to identify the waving technique. I would like to single out one impression in the middle of the bottom, a tight, simple, twist winding was identified, but towards the edge of the fragment it looks like every thread from the warp is split into two threads which increase the density of the structure. Further waving continued with even thinner web. The warp is not visible on the impressions. Only information that we have for the warp is from the impressions where damaged parts are visible. We can see that the warp is from two S-twist yarns with diameter of one millimeter. Unlike the warp, the weft is clearly visible. The thickness of the weft is ranking roughly from less than one millimeter to three millimeters in diameter. On several specimens an uneven weft can be observed. Although this may be a result of uneven spinning it also be a result of more or less tension during waving. On my first attempt, you can see on the right, on my first attempt to reconstruct winding structure you can see thicker and thinner parts of the weft. This can confirm that the quality and appearance of the fabric depends also on the skills and the performance on the one who produced it. One more reason for uneven weft can be appearance on the fragments. On many fragments we can see, on many fragments we can notice protruding and hollow parts which probably appear when vessel was made. On the protruding parts the weft is more visible and have bigger diameter due to stretching in these parts and on the hollow parts the weft is not or is not so well visible and has smaller diameter. Fabric counts noted during analysis ranging from 7 to 17 yard elements per square centimeters. Verifying textile with fabric counts 15 and greater than 15 appear on 10 examples. 25 examples have textile with fabric counts between 10 and 14 and only 3 examples with fabric count less than 10 elements per square centimeters. From this we can conclude that some of the specimens have densely packed weft with even tension and uniform angle of the weft giving the fabric fine, smooth and even structure. The others on contrary are uneven with thinner and thicker parts and bumps giving the rough appearance of the fabric. Impressions are better visible in the center of the bottom of the vessels and towards the edge of the bottom they are less or not at all visible. The analyst textile impressions lack any marks of borders or selvages. The secondary use of worn out textile was noticed on some impressions during analysis. This is evident by missing elements or distortion on more than the half analyzed impressions. The fabric imprinted on the bottom of the pottery was probably pieces of used clothes or blankets. The pieces of textile imprinted on the clay were probably used other to protect pottery for contamination but dirt while drying after the modeling or as a support while racing the vessel. Planted straw mats should have had the same function as the twine fabrics as suggested by the imprints of mats on the pottery shirt from the Olympic settlement. How this textile was manufactured? In small numbers spindle worlds and longways can give us a general idea of the process of textile manufacturing at these sites. Documented spindle worlds are from two settlements Pešterica and Vrbjalska Cuka. The spindle worlds are of diskoise shape made of clay most of the peripheral spindle were cut off shirts the ends were rounded and a hole was punched in the middle. But also some examples from Vrbjalska Cuka are made of clay which has been molded in the form of disk. The diameter is from 2.5 cm to 8 cm there are thicknesses from 0.5 cm to 2 cm and the perforation diameter from 0.2 cm to 1 cm the weight of the world is from 6 to 80 grams diskoise spindle worlds are probably earliest form of spindle worlds and the most often form discovered from the early Neolithic horizon of settlements and their use continues in the later horizons. Unlike the clay spindle worlds the earliest discovered stone diskoise worlds is from the Middle Neolithic. In these settlements biconical worlds are not detected. Generally, biconical spindle worlds are rarely found in Neolithic sites in Macedonia. They are discovered in the Middle Neolithic horizons of the settlements and their use continues in the late Neolithic settlements. We do not have direct evidence of using clay. The points of ceramic and stone long weights indicate that some type of supported frame perhaps a vertical work weighting long was used for manufacturing this textile at least for the densely packed and evenly twined fabrics. The long weights discovered on these sites were made of clay or stone with spherical, diskoid or dumbbell shapes. Two long weights with dumbbell shape were discovered in Brbianjska Cuka. The weights are made of clay with cylindrical body 8.5 cm to 11.5 cm long and extended at both ends. The weight is from 240 grams to 300 grams. Weight with dumbbell shapes are discovered in the Neolithic settlements from the early Neolithic. Unlike dumbbell weights from Brbianjska Cuka which characterized by larger dimension and weight on some sites dumbbell shapes with smaller dimensions 6.5 cm to 5.5 cm body long and weight from 40 to 65 grams were discovered. The spherical long weights are represented with only two examples from Brbianjska Cuka. One loom is made from clay and the other one of stone. The weight made of clay has a diameter of 6.2 cm and weight around 300 grams The weight of stone has a diameter of 5.5 cm and weight around 100 grams. In the settlement Cuka to Polčanin diskoid long weights made of stone were discovered. These long weights are quite large the diameter is roughly from 6 to 15 cm and the weight is from 200 to 700 grams. One of the long weights has no perforation but has visible traces of bindings. On the other loom weights rounded perforation with diameter from 1.5 to 2.5 cm were made in the middle. A clay diskoid long weight was discovered in Brbianjska Cuka with a diameter of 6 cm perforation of 1 cm and weight of 96 grams. Oval and conical long weights have not been documented at this settlement but weight with these shapes are discovered from the middle neolithic phases of the settlements in Macedonia. One exception is the elliptical weight from Governevo that has been discovered in the first Corisant of Life. Given that it is an isolated case that is used in the early Neolithic cannot be confirmed. The surface of the weight is smooth and the upper part has a circular perforation. The high of these long weights ranges from 7 cm to 10 cm perforation diameter from 1 cm to 2 cm and weight from 200 to 400 grams. Unfortunately archeological textile in Macedonia were not investigated until now but even from this basic information we can suggest that on this territory there was a thriving textile industry from the earliest phases of the Neolithic revealing a developed stage of the twining textile technology. Thank you for your attention.
