Discussion
A beech frame interpreted as a possible sprang loom was found in the Oseberg burial [EWING 2007:p.149]. Although this was probably a tapestry loom [INGSTAD 1992]. Ewing also makes the point that most Viking Age sprang was 'probably made in linen which rarely survives in the archaeological record' [EWING 2007:p.149].
Other possible unpublished finds:
- Scotland, Shetland. Impression on the back of a pair of oval brooches.
- Scotland, Perth. Textile fragment.
- England, York. Textile fragment found in 1800's now in the Yorkshire museum. Interpreted as a leg binding and from the Roman era.
