content: Style: Braided, Wrapped Warps Basketry, Wrapped Warps Twist: Z Element: Fragments Residue: Calcareous on the largest fragment which is a sm bundle of feather wrapped material. Comments: 1 pc wrapped in faded red, black and light brown; 1 small bundle spaced weft twining in reddish brown hair, w/skeletal warps and weft impressions. 1pc braided rope - many fine yarns used. 1 pc narrow wrapping fiber w/o whatever was wrapped. 2 pc vegetal strip wrapped w/ fine dark reddish brown 2 ply yarn. 2 pc vegetal strip wrapped w/dark brown 2 ply Z twist yarn. All 4 wrapped bits are c. 1 cm wide. 1 hank of coarse 2 ply Z twist yarn. Also-1 envelop w/fiber sample analyzed by CAL in 1976 (report 2091). W/O knowing exactly which type of fragment this came from (there are 6 different types of woven artifact represented here)- it doesn't help much. Result is that analyzed fibers are vegetal (not seed hairs).
