Others are tapestry twining and conglomerations. see other sub no. this designation. Style: Slide Element: Fragments Comments: Envelope w/samples. Presumably these are the samples analyzed in CAL rpt. 2089 by M. Goodway, 4/76. CAL report lists these as being from tapestry, but there is no way to tell exactly which group of fibers was sampled. Result is that these are entirely feather. 3 vials (A-C) were submitted. Sample A was divided by color into prep 2089-1 (red), 2089-2 (tan), 2089-3 (black). Sample B = Prep. 2089-4, Sample C = 2089-5. This suggests that the the tapestry wefts may nearly all be of feather, since the tapestry wefts here are typical of the type.
