Description
This specimen is a Class I basket. According to Munsell (1976) (see bib for full citation), Class I baskets are made of twined limb. Catalog number was assigned on the basis of the accession file inventory list. This object is not 45SK59b/5 based on the desription of the basketry card for 45SK59b/5. This basket was treated with polythylene glycol in the manner described by Seborg (1962). Soil matrix was removed via a fine spray of water. Specimens were then soaked in ethanol for 2 days to reduce trapped water. After removal from th eethanol bath, specimens were soaked in a 2:1 aqueous solution of 1,000 molecular weight polyethylene glycol for 2 to 4 days. After this treatment, specimens were placed on wire racks to dry for approximately two weeks. Four years later, the specimens had dried out and were treated again. The treatment has stained and darkened this specimen.
