Pegs of wood

These wooden pegs, made from oak and wild cherry, were found at Buiston Crannog in Ayrshire. They may be parts of the framework of a loom. The pegs date between 585 to 630.

The pegs are well preserved, though incomplete.

Upright looms were used by about 1000 BC, and had a long history. The looms themselves rarely survive, although a number of loomweights have been found, sometimes associated with other objects used in weaving, such as weaving combs and pin beaters.
