[Bryn-gwlad] "The World of the Vikings"

[Zach Most]

You may already have looked here, but I believe there
are beaters and there are certainly extant looms in
"Woven into the Earth". 
http://www.amazon.com/Woven-into-Earth-Textiles-Greenland/dp/8772889357/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-8786027-5360762?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190051134&sr=8-1
It's an outstanding book particularly if you're
intersted in textiles.
