Mississippian Village Textiles at Wickliffe: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Mississippian Village Textiles at Wickliffe" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Because textiles rarely are preserved in the archaeological record outside of deserts and permafrost areas, in many regions of the world very little is known about their characteristics, functions, production technology, or socioeconomic importance. While this fact is also true of organic fabrics produced during the Mississippian period in southeastern North Anerica, a wide variety of Mississippian textiles has been preserved in the form of impressions on large pottery vessels. From attribute analysis of 1,574 fabrics impressed on Wickliffe pottery sherds and comparison of the impressions with extant Mississippian textile artifacts, Drooker presents the first comparative analysis of these materials and the most inclusive available summary of information on Mississippian textiles.
