* Hedeby - Graves: 2 examples of woollen herringbone weave were found in the graves 90/1909 and VI/1930. The fragment in grave VI/1930 was of large herringbone weave and had a checker pattern in it created by lighter threads (possibly linen) in both the warp and the weft. [HAGG 1991: p. 241]
*Hedeby - Harbour: 4 examples of herringbone weave were found in the harbour. 2 were woven as bands (probably leg bindings) [HAGG 1984: p. 145]
*Birka: 2 fragments of woollen cloth were found woven in herringbone weave.
* York: 7 cases of herringbone weave wool were found.One was dyed lichen purple. Another fragment had a dark warp and a light weft, which makes the herringbone pattern very visible.
