I\'d see it as rather certain that the Picts did use tablet weaving technology given it wasn\'t regarded as \"old fashinoned\" and therefore not used anymore which is rather impossible to proove (and even if it was the case was likely to have varried from region to region).

Hi Magdalena,
Lisa was responding to my query/musing about the Picts using tablet
weaving as a technique to stabilize their twill woven fabrics while on
the warp-weighted loom.
I guess my question could be refined to the following:
Would it have been more likely that the Picts would have used
tablet-weaving as a means of stabilizing the weaving structure of their
twill fabrics in process, or would they have used a simple tabby weave,
much the way that 'modern' weavers do on their horizontal looms?
