"In this definitive study of prehistoric textiles, Kate Peck Kent traces the history of weaving in the Southwest long before the Spanish conquest. She has recorded and examined thousands of woven articles- archaeological finds- all the evidence available to her in museum collections and published reports. Her research will interest many more than thos who think of southwestern weaving as synonymous with Navajo weaving. The author illuminates the antecedents of Navajo weaving as she follows the course of the indigenous tradition back through the arts of the early Pueblo Indians, the Basketmakers, and the Mogollon peoples. We are led through the 'Gran Chichimeca' to the roots of southwestern weaving in the textile arts of the high cultures of Mexico, Central America, and Peru." -Jacket.
