The raw materials used in making clothing, like animal hides, plant fibers or wools belong to the easily-transitory organic materials. Textile remains are found primarily on metallic objects. A secondary source, unfortunately often overlooked and important is fire rubbish. When securing the find, care should be taken to collect the entire object to which the remains cling, since cleaning, removing and preserving demand complicated steps and experience. Condition of fabric finds vary widely, not only because of age, but even more so as to the locations and conditions where and under which they were buried for hundreds and thousands of years. The preparation of the finds for microscopical examination demands highly scientific steps of cleaning, firming, preparation of samples for various chemical examinations, treatment of charred remains of fibers, etc. Of utmost importance is the photography of each prepared sample in case of its loss by total deterioration. The definition of the textile remains is important since it indicates and explains the raw materials used as well as the techniques of spinning and weaving used. It will tell us about the experience of the people involved in the production of the materials as well as the quality attempted. The artistic and decorating ability of these early workers can be determined. However, coloring processes are difficult to determine, as most samples being examined have a dirty-gray-brownish to dark brown color. Last but not least, it is important to determine the individual types of fibers used. One differentiates between plant- fibers and animal-fibers: the important ones in the plant category are flax and hemp; as to the animal category: wool, hair, and silk.
