摘要
Paleoethnobotanical remains from basketry and cordage from the Paisley Caves offer an opportunity to explore how people engaged with plant communities over time. Fiber identification of textiles, together with radiocarbon dating, contributes new information about landscape use within the Summer Lake Basin. Expanded marshlands during the terminal Pleistocene / Early Holocene created suitable plant communities ideal for fiber technology, specifically wetland monocots and herbaceous dicots-including dogbane and stinging nettle-by 11,000 years ago. This technology is key to subsistence activities and craft production throughout the Holocene. Despite climatic events during the Middle Holocene, in which people transitioned from caves to sites centered on lakeshores and wetlands, the suite of fiber plants and their technological application remains constant. During the Late Holocene, bast fiber material diversified with the addition of flax and milkweed. The presence of flax in particular, a high-elevation plant, may reflect the increased use of upland root collection areas as populations increased. This research provides long-term data on culturally significant native plants used in the manufacture of fiber-based textiles over the last 14,000 years. Restos paleoetnobotanicas de cesteria y cordaje de las Cuevas Paisley ofrecen una oportunidad a explorar como la gente interactuaron con comunidades vegetales con el tiempo. Identificacion de fibras textiles, junto con datacion por radiocarbono, contribuye nueva informacion sobre el uso del paisaje dentro de la Cuenca del Lago de Verano. Pantanos expandidos durante el Tarde Pleistoceno / Temprano Holoceno crearon comunidades vegetales adecuadas ideales para tecnologia de fibra, especificamente monocotiledoneas de humedales y dicotiledoneas herbaceas incluyendo dogbane y ortiga hace 12.000 cal aP Esta tecnologia es clave para las actividades de subsistencia y la produccion artesanal durante todo el Holoceno. A pesar de los acontecimientos climaticos durante el Holoceno Medio, en los que la gente hizo la transicion de cuevas a sitios centrados alrededor de lagos y humedales, el conjunto de plantas de fibra y su aplicacion tecnologica se mantienen constantes. Durante el Holoceno Tardio, el material de fibra de liber se diversifico con la adicion de lino y algodoncillo. La presencia de lino en particular, una planta de gran altitud, puede reflejar el aumento del uso de las zonas de recoleccion de raices de las tierras altas a medida que aumentaban las poblaciones. Esta investigacion proporciona datos a largo plazo sobre plantas nativas culturalmente significativas utilizadas en la fabricacion de textiles a base de fibra durante los ultimos 14.000 anos.
