(iii) Lattice twine,with two lattices and one or more twining strands (5m, Fig. 12E; 5n).(iv) A combination of (i) and (iii) in which a row of double lattice wrap is placedover a row of plain twine (5o, Fig. 12F). Wattlework This is a form of wickerwork in which the warps are stakes that are plantedin the ground or in a heavy base. It is used for fencing and for the framework of 66 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM. Fig. 11.

Height 205 mm. huts and sledges, and is found for these purposes over most of southern wattlework the varieties so far found are chequer (6a), plain lattice wrapped,with one or two lattices (6b, 6c, Fig. 15), hitched lattice wrapped (6d) (when thestrand takes a turn round itself at each crossing), figure-of-eight lattice wrapped(6e), and varieties of lattice twine (6f-6k). Lattice wrapped wattlework is usedon hut walls in the north and east, and there may be two sets of horizontal lat-tices holding one set of vertical warps, or two sets of vertical warps with one setof horizontal lattices between them. The latter demands a different way of wrap-ping the weft, which takes a figure-of-eight instead of a simple course. Plaiting Plaiting is the process by which three or more s
