Artefacts made of organic materials from the 1st millennium BCE in Poland are relatively scarce, and products made of tree bast are even rarer than fabrics. There is limited evidence in the archaeological record for the production and use of bast cordage during this period. Tree bast cords have been preserved mainly in association with metal objects, like in the case of finds from Żelazo or Jodłowno. The remains of bast cordage were also identified among the hoard of bronze artefacts from Susz in northeastern Poland, which is the richest collection of bast cords in the region to date
