Basket

Baskets were used for carrying and storing a wide variety of materials. These include, water, stones, firewood, roots, fruits, seeds, textile materials, fish and game. They were also used for cooking. Women and girls made and used these baskets. Family wealth was partially correlated to the number and quality of baskets in their possession.
