I tried to summarise all that was then known about the early history of
tablet weaving, when I wrote my book, "Techniques Of Tablet Weaving", some
time before 1982. You will find eight pages near the beginning of the book
devoted to this... Earliest weaving, earliest tablets, earliest written
evidence..... Fairly detailed.
 
Thank you Peter. I will re-read the first chapters of TTW . I hadn't
realized that warp-twined bands were not necessarily tablet woven. I should
research other band weaving techniques to learn more. I have only explored
tablet weaving..... Judy

One has to remember that warp-twined fabrics can be made by other methods
than tablet weaving; so finding the structure itself is not proof; though
finding four-strand warp-twining begins to be good evidence. To date its
persistence into more recent times seems harder.
