Sažetak
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is a very useful method for textile fibre identification and morphology analysis. It can be used in a broad range of diverse scientific research fields. Archaeological textile, as one of them, proved to be a specific challenge because of sample size, its age and state of preservation. However, like other analytical methods, the interpretation of results is closely related to the sample preparation for SEM investigation. In this paper, work on several textile fragments from the Early Iron Age period will be presented. They were all found on fragments of iron horse gear, within the burial chamber in Tumulus 6 at the site of Kaptol-Gradac in the Požega valley, and dated to the Ha C1 period. The iron finds were previously consolidated for conservation purposes. During conservation, mineralized textile remains were discovered, which were photographed and analysed using nondestructive digital microscopy to determine the weave type and density, thread thickness and twist direction. Further on, in order to identify the fibres, samples were taken for SEM analysis. Above all, the goal was to analyse such samples in order to develop a new methodology for SEM analysis of archaeological textile in our further research.
