Otis T. Mason's 1901 article classifies Native American basketry by technique. It covers woven basketry (checkerwork, diagonal or twilled, wickerwork, and several forms of twined weaving, including plain, diagonal, wrapped, lattice or tee, and three-ply) and coiled basketry (single-rod, two-rod, rod and welt, three-rod, splint, and grass or shred foundations, plus the imbricated Klikitat technique). Forty line drawings and photographic figures illustrate the structures, with examples from the Pomo, Hopi, Tlingit, Aleut, Nez Percé, Thompson River, and other peoples. Ornamentation and geographic distribution are deferred to a later paper.
