content: Original Catalog Number: 2841 Style: Coil Element: Fragment Shape/Form: Crescent Alteration: Heat Manufacturing Notes: Coiled fiber wrapped w/ thin strips of other fiber. Bit of twill basketry also appears to be a finished edge. Residue: Resin or something on one end Comments: The outer convex edge is finished off. The piece is completely flat, suggesting that this was a mat rather than a basket. Very similar to 423389 and 423388 which are also charred. There is a thick resinous area to which the other piece of twill basketry adheres. Could all be part of same basket. The coiled wicker baskets are less common than the twill.
