Human-Hair Bifurcated Tumplines from Old Man Cave, Utah
Unwrapping a bundle of Basketmaker II textiles from Old Man Cave disclosed two examples of a previously undocumented textile form: bifurcated tumplines. At more than twice the width of standard tumplines, these warp-faced plain weave bands of human hair cordage have one flat end, with the other splitting into two separate parallel bands—one longer and the other shorter. Both narrow bands terminate in tumpline suspension loops. Strains, breaks, an…
Staying warm in the upland southwest
By the very early C.E. in the U.S. Upland Southwest, blankets or robes relying on turkey feathers as the insulating medium began to replace those made with strips of rabbit fur. Feather blankets would have been important possessions of most members of Ancestral Pueblo communities. Analysis of a 99 X 108 cm feather blanket dating approximately to the 1200s C.E. indicates it required over 180 m of yucca fiber cordage and an estimated 11,550 body fe…
Hopi Weaving and the Colonial Encounter
of this volume, have told me that the Columbian Consequences project served as a catalyst for the initial symposium entitled "Transformations during the Colonial Era: Divergent Histories in the American Southwest," subsequently published as this volume.They also asked me to write a few words about the Columbian Consequences effort, from a quarter-century perspective.The roots of Columbian Consequences run back to the late 1980s, a time of conside…
Recognizing People in the Prehistoric Southwest
"This manuscript presents an important view of prehistoric Southwestern people to the general public, students, and professional archaeologists. Centered on the time period AD 900 to 1450 and the Ancestral Puebloan, Mogollon, and Hohokam culture areas, the work assumes most people are interested in knowing how these early Southwesterners looked, dressed, and talked. Archaeologists rarely address these topics, as they are more interested in broad …
Perishable Ritual Artifacts at the West Ruin of Aztec, New Mexico
Recent research with the perishable collections from Chaco Canyon and the West Ruin of Aztec has identified a wide range of wood, basketry, and fiber artifacts that probably served as ritual paraphernalia within these communities. In this article, I describe some of these perishable artifacts, their spatial patterning, and their close association with probable ritual storerooms. Employing the concept of technological style, I use similarities in …

Recent Perishables Research in the U.S. Southwest
This special issue of Kiva presents new research using archaeological textiles, baskets, and cordage from the southwestern United States. The Southwest is blessed with one of the best perishables records in the world, matched only by the dry deserts of Peru, Chile, Egypt, and the U.S. Great Basin. Past Southwestern peoples made intensive use of caves and rock shelters for habitation, storage, and other purposes, resulting in the preservation of l…
A New Look at Tie-Dye and the Dot-in-a-Square Motif Ih the Prehispanic Southwest
Tie-dyed fabrics patterned with a dot-in-a-square motif appear in the archaeological textile record ofthe U.S.Southwest by the late twelfth or early thirteenth century. Mural images from Arizona and New Mexico suggest that tie-dye was one of the primary means of decorating ritual clothing by Pueblo N. Using evidence from textiles, ceramics, rock art, linguistics, and other media from the U.S. Southwest, Mesoamerica, and Peru, we explore the histo…
Symmetry and Color Perspectives on Basketmaker Cultural Identities
Basketmaker basket designs have long been considered the model for the earliest black-on-white ceramic designs in the northern Southwest. This article explores this premise from the perspective of symmetry analysis. We compare the design systems used to decorate Basketmaker baskets and ceramic bowls, and conclude that although some elements are shared, Basketmaker III basket weavers and potters used different symmetrical layouts to decorate their…

New Trails for Old Shoes
New research on Anasazi origins is augmented with data from sandals, baskets, and textiles collected at the time when Basketmaker culture was first defined by archaeologists. Relationships among decorative style, technology, and social processes are examined. We discuss (1) the distribution of technological and stylistic features of baskets and textiles to address the question of Anasazi origins, and (2) ways archaeologists can approach an unders…
