> Subject: Basketry Nomenclature
>
> My name is Laura Sampson and I am a 2nd year grad student in the Arts
> and Administration program at the University of Oregon.
> Currently, I am begining work on my Master's Project which involves
> cataloging and classifying a basketry collection.
> I am wondering if there is a standardized nomenclature/object name
> list for basketry. According to Chenhall's
> nomeclature book, basket is not an object name...a basket is a type of
> unclassified container. This system can prove difficult
> when attempting to classify and categorize a large collection of
> baskets. Is there a standardized list for naming baskets?
> For example, is there a list the specifies when a basket is a vase,
> pot, bowl, plate, etc.? Any advice, contact names, or suggested
> books would be much appreciated. I have never worked with basketry
> before so this is completely new territory for me.
> Thank you all for your help!
