This type occurs in but is not characteristic of the Basket Maker and Pueblo cultures of the San Juan Valley.^'' the latter, like western basketry in general, having a 2- or 3-rod-and-bundle foundation.^^ Four specimens (9659, 9587-8, 11103, and 11601-4) have a single rod-and-bundle foundation and noninterlocking stitches. 11604-2 is exceptional in hav- ing a single rod foun- dation (with an extra rod added irregular- ly), but noninter- locking stitches. The iwo specimens, 11086, from Cave No. 2, have respectively a rod-and-bundle and b u n d 1 e foundation, and both have split stitches. The coiled bas- ketry is firmly but not iinel}^ woven. No twined basketry was found. One frag- ment only, 10i90 (fig. 13, h), seems to be twilled. i^pecimetis from Cave No. 1.—10377, fragment of a coiled basket. B'oun- (lation : one-half of twig, o/iq" in diameter, split , the bark remaining on the lower, rounded side. Weft or sewed ele- ment: fiat strip Vs" wide, passing around 2 foundation elements; stitches inter- lock; some are split. This has 5 and G foundation rods i^er linear inch, or approximately 30 stitches per square inch. 1(X>00, fragment of a coiled basket. Foundation: flattened rod, %" wide. Weft or sewed element: flat strip, %" wide; stitches interlock. This has 6 stitches and 5 foundation rods per linear inch, or appi'oximately 30 stitches per square inch. 9654 is like 10009, except that the foundation is sometimes 2 rods instead of 1, placed either side by side or one on top of the other. It has 5 inter- locking stitches per linear inch, or 25 to 30 per square Fif:URE lo.—Fragment
