Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to determine in as
far as is possible, the types of baskets produced by the
Indians of Oregon, their distribution and their affinities
to those in adjacent areas.
The problem is complicated by two main factors; one,
the few ethnographic studies available for most of the Or egon
tribes, and two, the undocumented time range between the historic
and archeological horizons involved. The ethnographic
studies are best for those tribes which border the California
groups. This lack of information is understandable since by
the time any systematic work was undertaken many of the Northwestern
Oregon tribes had been depleted or wiped out by the
many epidemics which had swept the lower Columbia region in
the early eighteen hundreds. The time range may be divided
into two main divisions, that of pre-history, where the information
is archeological in nature, and that of historic times
where the information is to be found in the early historic
accounts and modern ethnographic studies of native groups.
The time period between the archeological horizon and historic
times is one which is undocumented. Since the earlist evidence, to-date, of the occupation
of the American continent is found in the Intermountaine flateau, it seems likely that Oregon would hold many
clues as to the nature of these early peoples as it was in
the pa~h of subsequent migrations into adjacent territory.
Substantuating this hypothesis, recent archeological researches
have revealed a culture a considerable antiquity in Oregon.
Therefore, a study of the basketry techniques used by these
early peoples should help in filling in one of the gaps in
our knowledge of the affinities of the early cultures of
Oregon to those of adjacent areas.
