Never mind, I found proof of my own:
The ancient Egyptians used a 10-day "week", as did the French Revolutionary calendar (see French calendar).
The Maya calendar uses a 13 and a 20-day "week" (see Mayan calendar).

For those who might consider this off topic, the site also has interesting stuff about how the names of the days of the week came about.
