Croes DR. 1977. Basketry from the Ozette Village Archaeological Site: A Technical, Functional, and Comparative Study. Washington State University
From the Introduction: In recent years numerous basketry artifacts have been recovered from water-saturated archaeolgical sites (wet sites) located on the Northwest Coast of North America. They are the subject of investigation in the present study. The main focus is on the basketry from the Ozette Village archaeological complex located at Cape Alava near the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Comparisons are made among this and other collections within a temporal and spatial framework. The basketry artifacts from Northwest Coast sites are studied and compared on the following analytic levels: (1) basketry attributes (modes), (2) the basektry stylistic/technological classes (types), and (3) basketry functional classes. The results of these analyses and the intersite comparisons are used to generate typotheses concerning existing or developing models of Northwest Coast prehistory. The Makah Tribe is associated with Olympic National Park.
