"A well-illustrated guide to the recovery, analysis and description of archaeological basketry specimens. This manual in archaeology succinctly defines basketry and briefly treats field and laboratory procedures for its recovery and preservation...a fine study."---American Indian Quarterly

"An attractive and informative volume demonstrating the potential of prehistoric basketry in archaeological studies."---American Anthropologist

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 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 the Southwest archaeological site of Canyon de Chelly as an example of how to properly process a large basketry assemblage. In addition to 200 illustrations, the book includes a variety of sample forms for use in describing and analyzing ancient baskets.
