Notes: “The Pueblos’ earliest direct ancestors produced rabbit-fur blankets and simple fabrics from wild plant fibers using basic finger techniques At about A.D. 600, they added cotton fiber acquired from tribes to the south. Then, in the years approaching A.D. 1000, a revolutionary change occurred when the loom became widely used and domesticated cotton began to be grown locally. With this new technology and with finer fabrics, a creative explosion took place in the fashioning of breechcloths, kilts, shawls, dresses, shirts, belts, sashes, and a variety of other items that became essential elements of the Prehistoric Pueblo textile tradition.” (From the Foreword)
