The art of basketry in the American Southwest is one of the oldest crafts known on the continent. By 500 A.D. the people known to archaeologists as the Anasazi were making fine coiled basketry with elaborate designs. Archaeological care and thoroughness have preserved an excellent record of this art form representing nearly 1500 years of prehistoric evidence of man's universal urge to beautify the things he makes, an esthetic drive that continues its uninterrupted course into contemporary time. Today the Hopi Indians of northern Arizona, descendants of the Anasazi, continue this basketry tradition in the form of beautiful coiled plaques of yucca fiber and a wicker-weave type made of wild current and rabbit brush. For those interested in acculturation studies this is an important fact to note, as the Hopi are notoriously one of the Indian tribes most resistant to change in their traditional way of life. This is reflected in their religious ceremonies and craftwork, particularly in basketry which they continue to make in some quantity, and in general they have maintained the high quality of this ancient handicraft. Contents in Seven Chapters: Introduction, Location of Pima, Historical Background, Miniatures, Types - Periods - Indentification, Basketry Materials, Techniques of Weaving, Twilled Plating, and Symbolism & Design. Plus Glossary of Basketry Terminology.
