MARSH PASS, ARIZ., AND ASSOCIATED SITES ' 



Culture horizons : Basket Maker, Pueblo I, and Clifif Dweller. 



From caves, ruins, and burials in Marsh Pass and in Sagiotsosi '' 

 and Sayodneechee canyons, Kidder and Guernsey have unearthed 

 great numbers of basketry remains. These are the type sites for 

 basketry of Basket Maker type technique. Two periods are w^ell 

 represented in the basketry recovered from this location, Basket 

 Maker and later Clifif Dweller, and in addition a single specimen from 

 Cave I, Segi Canyon, represents the intermediate, Pueblo I or pre- 

 Pueblo period.^ 



The Basket Maker basketry found, with the exception of one twill- 

 plaited specimen from White Dog Cave and another which may be 

 matting from Cave i, Kinboko in Marsh Pass, was exclusively coiled 

 ware. Basketry specimens were so abundant in Basket Maker caves 



^ Kidder and Guernsey ; Guernsey and Kidder. Statements on the material 

 from these sites are based upon these publications ; I have also had the opportunity 

 of examining specimens in the Peabody Museum. 



^ Besides the Kidder and Guernsey material, a coiled burden basket, a cradle 

 basket, and a bowl are illustrated in Cummings, 1910, p. 34, as probably from 

 this location ; and another cradle basket is mentioned from Bat-woman's House, 

 Cummings, 1915, pp. 281-282. 



^ This basket is pictured on pi. 13, Guernsey, 1931. The specimen is in the 

 Peabodv Museum.
