"Textile Fabrics" from The Stone Age in North America
Monograph · 13 pages
Chapter XXXI of Warren K. Moorehead's The Stone Age in North America (Vol. II, 1911), a short survey of prehistoric textile fabrics in North America. It notes that few perishable textiles survive outside dry caves and Southwestern cliff-houses, and quotes Colonel Bennett H. Young's account of braided sandals, moccasins, bags and cloth fragments of cat-tail, bark and wild hemp from Salts Cave, Kentucky. Figures show sandals, moccasins, cloth, leggings, Zuñi baskets and a Utah basket-maker coiled tray.
