Kratki eksperiment tkanja održao se u Arheološkom muzeju u Zagrebu ne bi li se istražila funkcionalnost objavljenih astragala s Gomolave te raspravila njihova moguća upotreba kao utega za tkalački stan. Autorice su uspjele posuditi set od 15 astragala iz komparativne zbirke Zavoda za paleontologiju i geologiju kvartara HAZU u Zagrebu. Za napinjanje niti osnova tkanja iskorišteno je 14 astragala koji su postavljeni umjesto utega na vertikalni tkalački stan, konstruiran od strane Centra za eksperimentalnu arheologiju – CEKSA, u svrhu predstavljanja tehnika tkanja sudionicima i posjetiteljima radionice. Osnovna svrha pokusa bilo je testiranje moguće uporabe astragala, dok je dokumentiranje tkanja bilo stjecanje iskustva, s ciljem postavljanja određenih pitanja koja se odnose na proučavanje astragala. S obzirom na ograničenost vremenom, tijekom pokusa tkan je samo jedan komad tekstila. Petnaesti astragal poslužio je za jednostavan eksperiment namotavanja pređe.A short weaving experiment took place at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb in order to test the functional nature of the published astragali from Gomolava site as well as to determine and discuss their potential for use as loom-weights. Authors managed to borrow a set of 15 astragali from the Institute for Quaternary Paleontology and Geology in Zagreb. They warped 14 of them on a vertical loom, built by the Centre for Experimental Archaeology – CEKSA, in order to demonstrate weaving techniques to the participants and visitors of the workshop. The main purpose of the experiment was to test their potential functionality, while recording the weaving experience, in order to raise some particular questions that should be addressed in the prospective research on the astragali bones. Being limited by time, during the experiment only a single piece of textile was woven. The fifteenth astragalus bone was used for a simple spooling experiment
