This work explores the various textile arts practiced by indigenous peoples of the eastern United States, focusing on their materials, methods, and products derived from textile techniques. The book aims to elevate the understanding of textile artifacts and their significance within the broader context of North American archaeology. The opening of the text outlines the scope and purpose of the study, highlighting that it was commissioned alongside a report on Dr. Cyrus Thomas's explorations of mounds and remains from ancient cultures. It emphasizes the previously overlooked importance of textile artifacts in archaeological discussions and notes the parity of textile arts with pottery and metalwork in determining cultural status. This portion serves as a prelude to a detailed examination of various textile forms, including basketry, matting, and fabrics, relying on both archaeological findings and historical accounts to illuminate the artistry and techniques of the prehistoric inhabitants of the region.
