Basketry Technology; first published in 1977; is the only comprehensive guide for archaeologists; anthropologists; art historians; and collectors for identifying and analyzing ancient baskets and basket fragments. Long out of print; this volume is again available with an extensive new introduction by the original author that summarizes the extensive work done in this area over the past 35 years. The volume describes proper field and lab techniques for recovery of specimens and offers a systematic methodology for identifying and interpreting twined; coiled; and plaited basket samples. It then uses Canyon de Chelly as an example of how to process a large basketry assemblage properly. In addition to 200 illustrations; the book includes a variety of sample forms to use in describing and analyzing ancient baskets.
