Rope was generally made from whatever stout, flexible fibre was available locally [WALTON ROGERS 1997:p.1719]. Roesdahl says that the remains of ropes and nets that have been found are always made of bast. For example of the 291 pieces of bast rope and netting at Hedeby 85% were oak, 13% lime, 1% willow and 1% other trees [ROESDAHL 1982:p.100]. Of the 6 oak bast fragments found in the harbour at Hedeby most were plied but one was plaited [HAGG 1984:p.262 ff].<br>
