Talk:Basket weaving

Comment
Why should this article be deleted? It seems legitimate to me.

Contents
The main paragraph really needs to bee cleared and organized.

More regional basketry
For instance, there's a long tradition of basket making across Africa and Asia that needs coverage here

Technique
Would somebody please add something on the practical side of basket weaving ? Eg: steps to make a simple basket, tools...

Mistakes
"The oldest known baskets have been carbon dated to between 10,000 and 12,000 years old, earlier than any established dates for archeological finds of pottery..." Pottery sherds found in Xianrendong Cave have been dated to 20,000-19,000 calibrated years BP.


 * Earliest evidence of basket-making technology (i.e., plaiting vegetable fiber) comes from impressions on the bases of multiple clay figures from the Upper Paleolithic, approx., 26,000 BP.

 * Ongoing collaborative research with Czech scholars on Gravettian inventories from such sites as Dolni Vestonice I and III and Pavlov I in Moravia (fig. 1) has documented the existence of highly diverse and sophisticated textile technologies that included the production of cordage and nets, the plaiting of baskets, and the twining and loom weaving of cloth (Adovasio, Soffer, and Klima 1996; Adovasio, Hyland, and Soffer 1997; Adovasio et al. 1999, n.d.; Soffer et al. 1998). The evidence for these perishable inventories comes from 36 textile impressions found on small fragments of fired and unfired clay recovered from Dolni Vestonice I (Adovasio et al. n.d.), 1 from Dolni Vestonice II (Adovasio, Hyland, and Soffer 1997), and 42 from Pavlov I (Adovasio et al. 1999).
 * This may be worth including somewhere in this article.

Machines
I presume there are basket weaving machines in existence? Or are all baskets weaved by hand? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.6.193.162 (talk) 00:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
