A short note from Science describing a collection of Barotse and Bechuana baskets recently received by the American Museum of Natural History. The author lists the woven and coiled basketry techniques present, including wicker, checker, twill, wrapped, twine variants, the California 'ti' weave, and several coil types, and compares them with Californian and Aleutian basketry. She notes the emphasis on sturdy storage chests and the black-only coil decoration.
