AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The authors describe and compare the similarities and differences in the design and manufacture of sandals, baskets, and textiles - including rabbit fur blankets- across the Four Corners region. They use comparisons of these traits to help to understand Basketmaker origins. This is especially true of the Kayenta region as this region seems to share traits with cultures to the north and south. Rock art and burial practices also suggest a shared belief system. They explore the reasons behind the changes in these perishable items during Basketmaker III.
