[Bonetools] Early Medieval rigid heddle

[Dave Constantine]

Hello, 

I am looking at what could be fragments of a Saxon period rigid heddle from the UK. There certainly seems to be a number rigid heddles in bone or antler from Roman European sites and a couple in antler from medieval Scandinavian sites, and a possible rigid-heddle band from the late 11th C, but there seems to be a definite “hole” in the published material regarding rigid heddles in Western Europe from the 6th-12th Century. Does anyone know of any unpublished examples or research into them for this period?

Regards,

David Constantine
