content: Original Catalog Number: 2783 Style: Composites Raw Material 2: Shell Element: Fragment Condition: Fragile Alteration: Chemical Residue: Tick corrosion byproducts. Lots of cane fragments and basketry impression on one fragment. The largest frag 10 x 7 cm is a conglomerate of cane fragments, Cu and 6 badly decomposed small disc shell beads. Comments: Another piece has a wad of copper attached to very long strands of cane > 16 cm long. One fragment has thick grayish brown clay adhering as well. These are probably all from the same basket. Original Catalog Number: 2783 Style: Twill Element: Fragment Condition: Fragile Alteration: Chemical Manufacturing Notes: Looks like the basket was a fairly loose weave. Residue: Cu and brown clay along w/ green pigment. Presence of pigment is unusual given other Cu-basket conglomerates. Comments: Good evidence for grave goods being placed in baskets.
