An Interesting Old Weaving Technic

A one-page note from Science (1911) by Mary Lois Kissell of the American Museum, New York, describing a nearly vanished wrapped-weaving technique found on an expedition to the Pima of southern Arizona. Stiff slats, often saguaro cactus ribs, are bound with a pliable element such as thong, string, rope, cloth strips or wire. Variations include a simple wrapped weaving and a lattice-wrapped form with a perpendicular slat. The author speculates that it is an early technique and notes similar work in Malaysia, the Lower Congo, Mexico and among Pacific Northwest and Plateau peoples.
