The chance to obtain information on prehistoric textiles, even those that have disappeared long ago due to degradation, is provided by imprints of textiles on clay or ceramic vessels. This poster deals with research on the impression of a textile material on an archaeological ceramic fragment. The shard was discovered during archaeological research carried out in the settlements of the Cucuteni culture, in Romania (ca. 4600–3700 BC). An imprint of the shard surface was taken with a silicone product, by means of which a positive mould of the textile material was obtained. The mould was analyzed using a stereomicroscope. The mould points to a textile material that looks very similar to true tricot. Subsequent investigation revealed quite a different structure, made by a technique called nalbinding. This technique, using a single-eyed needle, interlocks quite short lengths of thread in twisted loops. Also called “pseudo-knitting”, nalbinding is still used in some parts of the globe. Although the aspect of textiles made in nalbinding and true knitting is similar, their structures are quite different. The similarity that exists between the knitting techniques in use nowadays and those used by the tribal community of the Cucuteni culture proves the preservation of a traditional and universal textile technology whose roots go back to prehistory.
