The analysis of archaeological fiber industries encompasses the study of cordage and associated materials such as tools, raw materials, and byproducts. In addition to cordage, this research explores dimensions of fiber analysis that archaeologists often neglect. The Basketmaker II people of Boomerang Shelter left behind clues of an important industry that drew upon the faunal and botanical fibrous materials of the local landscape. From the many fibrous materials, most notably Yucca angustissima, the early agriculturalists of the Colorado Plateau created cordage as an essential part of their material culture. This study of the Boomerang Shelter Basketmaker II fiber industry explores the implications of site use and labor input through an analysis of archaeological fiber assemblage and experimental archaeology
