Resumen de The Textile and Basketry impressions form Jarmo
Analysis of a series of negative impressions in clay and bitumen recovered during the excavations at Jarmo indicate the prehistoric production of both cloth and basketry at that site. Two varieties of plain woven cloth, balanced plain weave �single warp and weft and balanced plain weave� double warp and weft, are represented as are two of the three major subclasses of basketry. The latter includes plaiting and coiling, each represented by a single type. The technical characteristics of these "perishables" are discussed and the assemblage is compared to others in the Old and New World.
