Abstract
Numerous artefacts from the area of textile production as well as finished products, fabrics and netting, dating from the period between 3900 and 800 b.c. have survived in the archaeological layers of late Neolithic and Bronze Age wetland settlements in eastern Switzerland. Archaeological investigations, experiments in textile technology and comparisons with Egyptian wall paintings, as well as analyses under the scanning electron microscope, allow us to almost completely reconstruct Neolithic textile production in prehistoric pile dwellings.
