The eight papers presented here supply a beneficial introduction to medieval broadcloth, and an up-to-date synthesis of latest study. The word broadcloth is nowadays utilized as an general term for the woven textiles mass-made and exported all more than Europe. It was first created in Flanders as a luxurious cloth from the 11th century and throughout the medieval period. Broadcloth is the English term it isLaken in Flemish, Tuch in German, Drap in French, Klaede in the Scandinavian languages, and Verka in Finish. As the idea of broadcloth is derived from written sources, it cannot directly be identified in the archaeological textiles and for that reason is extremely appropriate as an interdisciplinary topic. The initial chapter (John Munro) presents an introduction to the topic and requires the reader by means of the manufacturing and economic importance of the medieval broadcloth as a luxury item. Chapter two (Carsten Jahnke) describes trade in the Baltic Sea region, detailing production requirements, shipping and prices. Chapters 3, four and 5 (Heini Kirjavainen, Riina Rammo and Jerzy Maik) deal with archaeological textiles excavated in the Baltic, Finland and Poland. Chapters six and seven (Camilla Luise Dahl and Kathrine Vestergard Pedersen) concern the troubles of combining the terminology from the written sources with archaeological textiles. The last chapter reports on an ongoing reconstruction project: at the open air museum in Eindhoven, Holland, Anton Reurink has attempted to recreate a medieval broadcloth based on written and historical sources. Throughout the final couple of years he has reconstructed the tool for preparing and spinning wool, and a group of spinners has produced a yarn of the proper top quality. He subsequently wove around 20 metres of cloth and conducted the first experiment with foot-fulling.
