Science. 82 BULLETIN 87, UNITED STATES NATIONAL Fig, 170.—Woven fabkic band from Red Rock. ever, a relationship to the fur and feather cord textile and to coiled basketry. A remarkable band of textile (fig. 171) was found wrapped around a paho offered in a shrine at Bear Creek Cave. (Cat. No. 24G020, ) It consists of a series of graduated loops in four sets of three each, knotted in a continu- ous cord and a similar series of unifonn loops worked into the bases of the first series. The gi^aduated loops run from right to left alternately, making triangular areas and and the even loops border two sides of the triangles, nmning thus zigzag across the band. A bind- ing cord is run along the margin and knotted into the fabric at the apex of the triangles. The beginning loops are shown at a gathered on a cord which forms the end of the band; the sec- ond series of loops is shown at Ij; the knot is shown in front at c; in reverse at d and opened at e; a portion of the band in detail is shown at // the edge cord at p-, h; the band unwrapped from the paho at i; and the specimen as found at _/'. The cords are yel- low and dark brown in color. Length of stick, 5 inches; diam- eter, I inch; width of band, 1^ inches.
