Abstract | During the many centuries during which tablet weaving has been practiced, back at least to the 9th century BC, ever-inventive weavers have developed a multitude of complex techniques. Clear and consistent methods of describing the structural attributes of tablet-woven bands enable the historian and reenactor to communicate clearly. Relating structural attributes to potential methods of production allows both the accurate reproduction of historical bands and the recognition of subtle features that aid in determining which of many possible techniques of production may have been used. |
