Who is afraid of basketry: a guide to recording basketry and cordage for archaeologists and ethnographers

documentary heritage
  • Other Name

    CNWS publications, no. 6 (Series)

  • Description

    "The aim of this book is to offer basic information on how to act and what to look for when basketry remains are found. The familiarity with the material thus gained, will facilitate an initial judgment of the objects. The book is intended for those archaeologists and ethnographers who expect to find basketry as part of the material culture under study.

    Furthermore, it can serve as an introduction to basketry for students of archaeology and cultural anthropology, who want to specialise in this field. The technical details may be of interest to modern basket makers. Museum staff of both ethnographic and archaeological museums may find it a useful guide to the description of their basketry collections, which are often insufficiently recorded."--introduction.
