Twilled Structures
One example (WM A1) of twilled weaving was recovered. This fragment, is a over 3 under 3, even twill, pattern float weave which forms a divergent diagonal appearance (figure 6). The maximum length is 20.1/cm by 13.2/cm. No edge selvege remains on this specimen. The average width of the elements is 0.8/cm. The material from which this structure was constructed has been described in the WM accession records as being "hemp". This designation, however, has not been verified.
