"Prehistoric Textile Fabrics Of The United States, Derived From Impressions On…" by William H. Holmes is a scientific publication written during the late 19th century. This work dives into the topic of textile fabrics used by ancient peoples from the United States, specifically those that can be analyzed through the impressions they left on pottery. It serves as an important contribution to the study of ethnology and archaeology, focusing on the methods and materials employed in textile production by prehistoric cultures. The book discusses various types of textile fabrics identified through meticulous research and analysis of pottery fragments. Holmes categorizes these fabrics into groups based on their weaving techniques and materials, showcasing a range of ancient textiles from diverse geographic locations across the U.S. He provides detailed illustrations and examinations of the fabrics, emphasizing their roles in both the practical aspects of pottery construction and aesthetic ornamentation. The work highlights the sophistication of textile techniques among prehistoric tribes, illustrating that these early artists used woven materials not only for functionality but also for decorative purposes, enriching our understanding of their cultural practices.
