At the time of its publication in 1908, Pomo Indian Basketry was the most complete and detailed study of a single Native American basketry tradition. The work, prepared as Samuel Barrett's doctoral dissertation, earned the author the first Ph.D. in anthropology at UC Berkeley. Among its contents are sections devoted to materials, techniques, forms, and designs. This edition is supplemented with two early articles, "Basket Designs of the Pomo Indians" by Barrett (1905) and "California Basketry and the Pomo" by his teacher Alfred Kroeber (1909). Sherrie Smith-Ferri's introduction reviews Barrett's early life and research and identifies the human sources of Barrett's collections and information--a community of talented Pomoan basket weavers. Sherrie Smith-Ferri (Dry Creek Pomo/Bodega Miwok) is a curator at the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, California.

Seller's Description:
F (Substantial wear to covers, which are taped together; ex-art library with labels and few marks; pages are clean; a possible candidate for rebinding or a read-only copy. ) Olive green paper wraps, pp. 133-276 plus 29 BW plate pages. "Among no other California people was there so great a variety in basketry as among the Pomo, who occupied the greater part of Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties, and vicinity. It is with the basketry of the Pomo, and particularly with its designs and other ornamentation, that the present paper has to deal. Information upon the general features of Pomo basketry, and to a certain extent upon their designs, was collected during some years of residence in the Pomo region, but it was not until 1904 that an attempt was made to systematically collect and verify all information possible concerning Pomo basketry and basket designs. This work was conducted as part of the investigations of the Ethnological and Archaeological Survey of California maintained by the Department of Anthropology of the University of California throug the generosity of Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst. The general method pursued during the work was to question informants of three dialectic groups...concerning the eight hundred and forty patterns shown on the photographs of three hundred and twenty-one Pomo baskets."
