Abstract

The 32 specimens from Waterfall Cave include apocynum-fiber textiles, cane and palm-frond matting and braids, a yucca-fiber leader on a fishhook, and a girdle or string apron. The matting is twilled; the textiles are plain weave and generally warp face. Technical aspects of these specimens are similar to those of textiles from Chihuahua published by Lila O'Neale in 1948. Pattern weaving is the only major new element found at Waterfall Cave.
