EARLY BASKETRY

_Ozark Mountains of Arkansas_

Very few people are aware that baskets were made by the Ozark “Bluff

Dwellers.” A special exhibit in the University of Arkansas Museum,

Fayetteville, contains a small basket filled with grasshoppers. The

University Museum points out that as long ago as the year 1 A.D.,

baskets were being made by Indians in the Ozark Area. This provides

further evidence of the Indian’s early inhabitance of this country.
