"NESAT X" (Northern European Symposium for Archaeological Textiles), edited

wonderful  articles, 10 of which deal with tablet weaving in some manner.  
 
3.  "Loom-weights, Spindles and Textiles -- Textile Production in  Central 
Europe from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age" by Tereza Belanova Stolcova  and 
Karina Gromer, pp. 9-20; a paragraph's mention of this very early evidence  
for TW in Europe
 
17.  "Norwegian Peat Bog Textiles: Tegle and Helgeland Revisited" by  
Sunniva Wilberg Halvorsen, pp. 96-103; a reexamination of the Helgeland band,

author concludes were woven using octagonal tablets with four holes threaded

Knudsen, pp. 150-156; the author concludes that the small 3.4 cm x 3.4 cm

rectangular tablets may have made it easier to check for turning mistakes
